Carmarthen Town AFC help two charities
Two Carmarthenshire charities collected cheques at the Carmarthen Town AFC annual general meeting held at the Clubhouse and Community Centre in Richmond Park.
The cash was raised by a fund-raising bike ride from Wrexham to Carmarthen by Carmarthen Town AFC committeemen and supporters.
Cheques for £602.50 were handed over to the Carmarthen and District Impaired Hearing Group and the Megan & Trevor Griffiths Trust by Town executive committee member and cycle team member Paul Ashley-Jones.
He said: “Here at Carmarthen Town we firmly believe that we are ‘more than a football club’ and that we play our part in the local community as a whole. We were delighted to support these two charities last season.
“This season, we will be raising money for the Ty Cymorth Hospice, another very worthy cause.”
The Impaired Hearing Group helps to organise activities for people who suffer varying degrees of hearing loss. Their work includes arranging transport for members to attend meetings.
The Megan & Trevor Griffiths Trust was founded in 1990 to promote the welfare and independence of people with disabilities. Priority is given to those people who live in Carmarthen and the county of Carmarthenshire. The Trust is able to give small grants for aids and services not available from the statutory authorities. Local people with disabilities have been helped with the cost of driving lessons, respite care, essential travel, training, speech and language aids and many other things which promote their wellbeing and encourage them to live a more fulfilled and independent life.
