Valero is to continue championing sport in Pembrokeshire for another year. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The oil giant, which has a refinery at Pembroke, has agreed to continue its sponsorship of Sport Pembrokeshire – the sports development arm of Pembrokeshire County Council – for 2017. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Next year this sponsorship will – in addition to the prestigious annual Sport Pembrokeshire Awards scheme – help deliver a range of sports development projects across the County. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

They include projects in fun football, disability sport, school-based tennis, hockey centres and school cricket. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Sport Pembrokeshire manager Ben Field said: “We are extremely grateful for Valero’s continuing support. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“The company has been a great friend of community and school based sport for many years and we hope that the partnership will continue for many years to come. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“Without them we would be unable to provide the range of activities that we can for the young people of Pembrokeshire.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Valero’s Refinery Public Affairs Manager, Stephen Thornton added: ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We are delighted to be able to support Sport Pembrokeshire for another year. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“Sport is a great way to unite people, to make friends, build confidence and helps create the leaders of tomorrow ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We have a long and successful partnership with Sport Pembrokeshire, who run an inclusive programme that caters for everyone and we are pleased to be a part of that.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
