An update on Charity Activities

What have we been up to in the past few months?  The AGM in  May was well attended and we were pleased that our friend, Christine accepted the nomination to become a Trustee of the Charity.  Christine has worked tirelessly with us in Romania for many years.

We also held a Sponsored Walk in the Brecon Area (Talybont to Brecon) along the canal route and were blessed with glorious weather.  To date £623 has been raised - more funds are awaited.  We also enjoyed a nice buffet on our return - thanks to my future daughter in law, Becs for rallying support and to her employers at the Play Barn for allowing us use of their conference room for the buffet.

Our friend, Christine Sansom also spent many hours making a beautiful Button Banner to raise sponsorship for the Charity,  A bit thank you to her - we are awaiting a total figure on the amount raised.  I have been out on speaking engagements also raising funds and Wayne & I had a stall at a Church fete in Hirwaun. 

I have spent much time sorting clothes at Hirwaun and we have raised over a £100 from sales of them.  We have worked hard at raising support for the Christmas Appeal and have already received 140 boxes.  Wayne has been working extremely hard at converting our premises at Hirwaun into a shoe box operation centre with Irene sorting all the items and putting everything in place in the correct order.  We have already began having RR mornings for our volunteers.  A big thank you to Sheila who again is covering hundreds of shoe boxes for distribution to schools, Churches and generous individuals.

Wayne and his nephew Eifion have started training for the Cardiff Half Marathon and need  as much support as they can get.  Please contact me if you can help.
