Carmarthen Mayor's charity distributes cheques to 15 organisations

The Mayor's Charity Appeals Committee is a committee of volunteers who organise a number of events throughout the year including raffles, coffee mornings, a vintage tea party and other events such as the Annual Mayor's Ball.

The Committee's aim is to raise funds which are awarded annually to deserving causes in the town of Carmarthen.
At St Peter’s Civic Hall Carmarthen, the Committee organised a ‘get-together’ for the organisations which were to receive donations from monies raised during the Mayoral year of Councillor Phil Grice.

Both the current Mayor Councillor Doug Rose and Councillor Phil Grice were in attendance and distributed cheques on behalf of the Committee to the 15 local deserving causes, detailed below.
