West Wales solicitors get on their bikes for charity
Staff at West Wales solicitors Hains and Lewis are getting on their bikes in aid of three charities.
The solicitors, based at Haverfordwest, Carmarthen and Narberth, will be organising a charity bike ride on Sunday, September 16.
The event is being organised by Angela Killa, senior assistant solicitor at Carmarthen. It will raise funds for Women’s Aid, Ty Hapus and Brain Tumour UK.
Angela said: “We are in the early stages of organising the ride, but the intention is to raise money for three very worthwhile charities.
“In addition, in the build-up to the event, we are hoping to organise a competition for local schoolchildren to get involved with designing a poster, a logo and a webpage for the ride.
“The ride will be open to the public and we’d like as many people as possible to get involved.
“As a local firm of solicitors, we recognise the importance of supporting good causes, so, hopefully, we can do a lot of good with the money raised.
“The bike ride route and the distance inolved is still being worked out, but we are looking for as many people as possible to express an interest in taking part in the ride at an early stage. In partcular, we are looking for support from local businesses, sports teams and organisations.
