MS, Cabinet Secretary for Culture
and Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip: I would like to
inform Members, as part of ongoing work to improve the stability
and continuity of the Sport Wales board, I am making three
short-term re-appointments.
Judi Rhys MBE, Phil Tilley and Martin Veale have proved to be
exceptional members of the board since their appointment, and I
am delighted they have accepted an invitation to continue for a
further 13 months. These additional terms will begin on 1
September 2024 and finish on 30 September 2025.
I am grateful to the three for agreeing to continue to serve and
ensure the smooth running of the board will continue. Their
expertise and experience will support Sport Wales in taking
forward our Programme for Government ambitions.
In making these short-term re-appointments, I would like to
extend my thanks to Professor Leigh Robinson, who is stepping
down at the end of her second term to pursue other opportunities.
Her service on the board has been invaluable to Sport Wales and I
wish her well for the future.
This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep
members informed. Should members wish me to make a further
statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns
I would be happy to do so.
