Each year two pupils from each secondary school in Scotland are chosen as Young Ambassadors to promote sport and motivate other young people to get involved in sport in their schools, clubs and local communities.

However Hannah is one of just 32 chosen from across Scotland to join the conference delivery team.

She said: “I would like to inspire and motivate other young people to get involved in sport. It will be great to meet lots of new people and create more opportunities in sport.”

The project is a key element of sportscotland’s contribution to developing young people as leaders in sport.
