SWANSEA City footballer Leon Britton is calling on everyone in the city to make sure they do not miss the deadline for nominating inspirational youngsters they know for a High 5 award.
Awards ambassador Leon said: “Thank you to everyone who has nominated so far – the stories people have told about children and young people in this city are really impressive, but I am keen that all our inspirational children and young person get recognised at this year’s awards.
