Just days into her reign, the new Miss Wales, Sarah Fleming from Brecon, was guest of honour at a glittering London bash in order to raise funds for charity. Sarah, was whisked off to the five star hotel in Heathrow, by one of the UK’s leading care providers – Hallmark Healthcare – to take part in their annual awards ceremony. Sarah helped raise in excess of £1,500 for NAPA (National Organisation for Activities for Older People). For Sarah it was a great opportunity to start her fundraising campaign for 2006/7. She said:"I had a lovely evening. I was a little bit nervous getting up on stage to hand out all the awards, but everyone made me feel very welcome" Avnish Goyal, Hallmark Healthcare MD, regarded it a pleasure and honour to have Sarah’s company. He said:"We were delighted to have Sarah support during the evening. All the guests agreed she’ll have a great chance at Miss World. Seven of our award winners were from Wales too, so it was a great night for the Welsh"

Making road safety cool

Sarah has certainly been busy since becoming Miss Wales in July. She recently helped to launch a major road safety campaign after it was revealed a third of all those killed or seriously injured on Welsh roads in the last 10 years were under 25. Pass Plus Cymru aims to equip 17-25-years-olds with advanced driving skills in hazard anticipation, motorway driving, all-weather driving and much more. Those who complete the one-day course will be eligible for a discount on their car insurance. Sarah, who has just turned 17, will be learning to drive soon, she has already experienced first hand the heart-ache road traffic collisions can cause:"A friend recently passed his driving test and was nearly killed in a head-on crash soon after. He’s recovering but he’s got metal pins in his legs,” she explained. "I think PPC is a cool idea because it doesn’t preach to young people but involves them in a fun and practical way. It’s a great idea to take extra training after you’ve passed your test. I will definitely be doing the course when I’m eligible and I would encourage others to do the same."
