PORTHCAWL LIONS
LOCAL CHARITY DELIGHT
Over Christmas the Lions finalised several of their donations from last year including that to Prostate Wales shown in the photo with two bikers from Sunways Bikes whose parade, with our support raised, £500 for the cause. We also donated £1400 to the Rugby Club whose site and support were are essential to our biggest fundraiser the Summer Car Boot Sales. Lions also regularly support the Food Bank, KPC Youth, young carers, Sandville and other local charities as well as, through the international organisation (with over a million members world wide) disaster relief, Sight and Water Charities. The club gets much pleasure from the activities that raise these monies, but are also a group of friends who enjoy each other’s company and various social events.
Volunteers at the Bridgend Branch of Parkinson’s UK/ Cymru were delighted to be advised that they have been chosen for local sponsorship this year, 2020. Stand proud, choristers at Bridgend Male Choir. Bridgend Male Choir is celebrating its 60th Diamond Anniversary and will give a contribution from ticket sales for any concert, which is not already linked to a charity. The Choir has also agreed to perform at Parkinson’s UK/ Cymru Gala Concert in July next, thereby enabling the local branch to raise even more for a project popular with both choristers and charity volunteers. Funds raised this year from Team Parkinson’s, Bridgend are being donated to Cardiff University helping it to continue its vital stem cell research. The aim is to delay the onset of the worst of the effects of the disease and eventually to find a cure. Bridgend Male Choir has a history of supporting good causes and ten years ago the Borough Mayor recognised the Choir for helping to raise more than £ One Million for charity- a figure well exceeded by now! Further updates will appear as the year progresses. David Burt – Team Parkinson’s, Bridgend
