QualitySolicitors Redkite help West Wales charitable causes


The leading legal firm in West Wales, QualitySolicitors Redkite, has been busy distributing money to charitable causes.
Donations in January amounted to more than £850.
The firm has its own committee of staff members, who meet on a regular basis to decide on charitable donations.
QS Redkite Managing Partner Luke Smith said: "We try to be as supportive as we can of many local charities. We try to vary our support as we are keen to play our part in helping different communities of interest in West Wales."
January donations included - 
  • £150 to Royal British Legion 
  • £150 to the Christian Lewis (childrens cancer) Charity.
  • £250 to the Laura Rees fundraising event. Laura, 23 from St Clears, died in a car accident between St Clears and Whitland.  She worked at the Glangwili Hospital Day Nursery.
  • £100 to Greenhill School in Pembrokeshire to help them with their rugby tour to Canada.
  • £100 to Sarah Goddard as a donation towards her BSES expedition to the Himalayas. The British Exploring Society (BES) is a UK-based youth development charity based at the Royal Geographical Society, aiming to provide young people with an intense and lasting experience of self-discovery in wilderness environments. Sarah is the daughter of QS Redkite's Carmarthen-based solicitor Simon Goddard.
  • £100 to Laugharne Mini Rugby. See earlier post - http://sirgarblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/qualitysolicitors-redkite-help.html

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
