NSPCC Dyserth
After a rather eventful A.G.M at the end of July, nearly all of the committee were voted in post for a new term of office, we thank them for all their work.
Our fundraising, mainly via the village shop has been going well and we have made about £98,000 in under 12 months. This will immensely benefit neglected and abused children in Wales; they are at the heart of all that we do. Recently, in September, we became a “pound shop” for a few days to try and clear the shop which had been overwhelmed with donations and was getting really overcrowded. The community seemed to love this opportunity for a “bargain-bag”; we took over £2000! Each item cost just £1 so now we have space for Halloween and Christmas goods and Winter clothes.
Nationally the NSPCC has had some cutbacks and is set to lose about 250 staff nationwide, though not at the front line of operations. This re-organisation means the loss of our manager who is also head of fund raising in Wales; she has been a great help and support in our Dyserth enterprise for a long time, and we sincerely wish her all the best with her future plans. Thanks to everyone who supports us in whatever way - you know who you are!
