Winners of a High Sheriff Award for ‘Outstanding Community Engagement’ in Cheshire in 2022 , WeDiscover is a virtual programme that is supporting young people across North Wales to discover more about themselves and the world beyond their front door. ‘If I had to describe WeDiscover, it would be ‘helpful’, ‘inspirational’, and a ‘good laugh’.
