FUW'S cancer centre cheque presentation

The Farmers' Union of Wales Gwent and Glamorgan branches have made a donation of well over £1,000 to a Cardiff cancer hospital.

A cheque for £1,120 was presented to Velindre Cancer Centre head of fundraising Andrew Morris at a recent coffee morning following the success of a wooden horse charity race night hosted by FUW vice president Lorraine Howells at Cwm Carno Farm, near Tredegar, in September last year.

"We received such fantastic support from FUW members, as well as members of the community, in raising over £4,000 and we decided to present part of the total amount to a hugely worthwhile and local cause," said Miss Howells.

"We would like to thank all those people involved with organising the evening including local members and businesses that donated food and provided sponsorship.

“The evening would not have worked as well without the tremendous support of Joyce Matthews and Cheryl Evans who prepared the supper meals."
