Tennis star Heather is our Ambassador of the Year

She was one of four shortlisted for the annual award which was presented at the 30th anniversary Awards for Achievement at Beau Sejour this evening.

Heather did that in spectacular fashion with her Wimbledon performance against world number one Serena Williams.
There was a record entry for what has been dubbed the Bailiwick's Award.
The others shortlisted were: Epic Challenges, supporting the work/fundraising for This is Epic; former PEH sister Jo Grimshaw for her service in West Africa during the Ebola crisis; and singer/songwriter Robyn Sherwell, who has appeared at Glastonbury, for her music and video work including the EP, Islander.
