GMB members heard from the union’s new race ambassadors on Tuesday evening as they presented the achievements of the GMB Race Achievement Scholarship Programme (Grasp).
The union’s first national race organiser Tyhimba Nosakhere explained that while the first 10 ambassadors, had been the 10 best applicants, the next five would be chosen to ensure every region participates.
