Hannah Blythyn AM for Delyn has recognised the vital contribution women make across Flintshire during a debate in the National Assembly.

Hannah Blythyn AM said:

“I took time in the National Assembly to pay tribute to the remarkable women who are making a difference in a variety of ways across my constituency of Delyn and Flintshire.”

“These fabulous women rarely make the headlines, but are often the beating heart of our local communities. They do things – not for recognition or reward – but simply because it’s the right thing to do”

In her speech, Hannah Blythyn AM acknowledged the positive influence of local women, including:

There are many women across my constituency and the country who are making a positive difference in their communities. My message to all of these women is thank you, thank you for all that you do, thank you for being an inspirational woman, and thank you for blazing a trail for all of us
