I’m a Worcestershire Ambassador because.....“I’m proud to be from Worcestershire and I’m proud of what Elysia does. I love feeling a part of the community and sharing my love and pride for Worcestershire and all that it offers. That may sound a bit cheesy, but at the end of the day, it isn’t really any more complicated than that.”
