FUW pushes fundraising activity at Royal Welsh Show

Pavilion and Welsh BlacksExclusive tickets for a prime viewing location on the Farmers’ Union of Wales’ pavilion balcony alongside the main ring at Llanelwedd will be sold in a bid to raise vital funds for the British Heart Foundation Cymru on the Wednesday afternoon of the Royal Welsh Show.

FUW President Glyn Roberts said: “We are offering exclusive access for a number of people to enjoy some Pimms on our balcony on Wednesday July 20 between 2.30pm and 5pm to watch the Senior Welsh Cob Stallions, which is generally the highlight of the main ring events during the show.”

Tickets for this exclusive occasion can be purchased on a first-come first-served basis from the FUW head office in Aberystwyth and will cost £20 a ticket. All proceeds raised will go towards BHF Cymru.

“We announced our charitable cause at the National Eisteddfod last year and have since then held a variety of events including farmhouse breakfast functions, a Christmas card design competition, and bingo evenings. This function is another push to raise some more money for this deserving charity.

“We are very excited to once again join in the fight against heart disease and hope the event will not just raise money for BHF Cymru but also raise awareness of how much of a problem heart disease is across Wales and the whole of the UK.

“Heart and circulatory disease takes the lives of more than 400 people in the UK each day. We hope that those participating will have a cracking good time whilst raising money to beat heart disease.

“The money that is raised goes to help fund life-transforming treatments, support pioneering research, and help care for people.

“Last year we presented T? Hafan and T? Gobaith with a cheque of £50,000 and hope that this fundraising term will be as successful,” added Mr Roberts.
