Easy Riders Raise Cash For Colleague
Welsh Ambulance Service staff in North Wales have helped a band of easy riders drive home their support for a colleague and his family.
Staff based at the Trust’s St. Asaph Headquarters recently welcomed ambulance staff from Cardiff who had taken on a two day motorbike challenge to ride around the roads of Wales in aid of a colleague who has been diagnosed with brain cancer.
While stopping off at St. Asaph on the 443 mile route, Welsh Ambulance Service Chief Executive Alan Murray presented the riders with a collection from Headquarters and North Wales Control staff totalling £170. Altogether the charity riders raised over £1700 for their colleague and his family.
Humane Research Trust
The St. Asaph Group of the Humane Research Trust would like to thank everyone who sponsored the "Walk the Walk" which raised £341.
Special thanks to the Rev. James Thomson who, although recovering from a replacement hip operation, joined the walkers. Special thanks also to Paula Belfield of Woodfest Wales, who kindly gave permission for a stall on the Woodfest Field.

Christian Aid Week
St. Asaph Christian Aid Committee was most grateful to everyone who made donations during the recent Christian Aid Week and would like to thank Tweedmill and Somerfield for allowing them to collect on their premises, Jacob’s Ladder who were very generous with donations and Mr. N. Luke and Becky at Chester Street Post Office for checking all the cash.
A very successful Charity Shop was held at Llanelwy Christian Fellowship, where lunches, teas and coffees were served. A Coffee Morning was organised at the Dean’s Library and the excellent amount raised was sent for the victims of the Burma-Myanmar Cyclone.
Congratulations also to Esgob Morgan and V.P. Infants School for their contributions which helped this year’s total to £2,435.85. Many thanks to everyone who contributed.
Cream Teas
Delicious cream teas served in a pretty flower filled garden on a warm summer afternoon was the fund raising choice of Megan Ward of Luke Street, who is busy raising money to join Denbigh High School’s expedition to Zambia next summer.
Megan has to raise a daunting £3,200 to enable her to join the expedition to help communities in Zambia and work on environmental projects.
Among the first to sample the homemade scones and jam were Megan’s grandparents, Cllr. Mrs. Elsie Powell, Mayor, and Mr. Barry Powell who are pictured with Megan and her mother, Vicky.
The Cream Tea raised over £100 towards her target. |
