TWO Powys women have been awarded Silver Kites by the chairman of Powys council.
Jayne Griffiths, from Llanyre, and Emma Haines, from Llyswen, both received a Silver Kite and a certificate of appreciation from Cllr David Meredith.
The presentation took place during National Democracy Week, which saw the council celebrate influential and inspirational women in Powys.
Mrs Griffiths was presented with the award in recognition of great and valuable services to her community. She turned Llandrindod Wells pink recently for Cancer Research UK and as in her role as community champion, Mrs Griffiths works with local charities including Llandrindod Wells Food Bank, MIND, the Bracken Trust and the local leg club.
Ms Haines was presented with the award in honour and recognition of her success in a prestigious hair and beauty award. The beauty therapist, who has been running her business for more than nine years just outside Llyswen, picked up the Masseuse of the Year at the 2018 Wales Hair Beauty Awards in March.
