First Minister, Mark Drakeford AM said: “The winners at this evening’s event are a true credit to your families, friends, communities, and to Wales as a whole. Many congratulations to you and also to everyone who was a finalist.
“I know there are exceptional things being performed by inspirational and aspiring people here in Wales. As I travel across the country, I get to see first-hand the efforts that people make, day in day out to make our small but mighty country great.
“The St David Awards give us a chance to celebrate those people who go the extra mile often without the recognition they deserve.”
