Pippa Britton

[4] In the early 1990s,[3] after being encouraged by her husband to take up something new,[4] Britton first got involved with archery as a social activity following a "have a go" session.

Britton took a six-week beginner archery course,[4] and felt she "wasn't any good to start with" at the time.

[4] Britton was a standing archer at the beginning of her archery career, but later started to sit on a stool and then became a wheelchair user.

[4] She competed as part of the Welsh and British archery teams for 15 years, during which she won a place on the podium in six World Championships and 24 international events.

[6] She has gained eleven world records during her career,[7] and also represented the Welsh able-bodied team,[5] on more than 20 occasions.

[13] She also served as the director of Elephant in the Room, a company specialising in mentoring services, and disability awareness training for businesses and schools.

[6][7] She is also currently a trustee at UWC Atlantic College, and was appointed and commenced as a board member of the Charity Commission Wales in September 2022.
