All the above projects have involved funding capital expenditure on building improvements for incredible people looking after vulnerable but brave youngsters with in many cases challenging problems.
In terms of fundraising we rely on a number of wonderful corporate supporters including Concrete Society, Admiral Insurance, Swalec Stadium, Whitchurch Golf Club, Brains Brewery & Morgan Cole.
In addition our hard working committee of volunteers organised a number of activities during the year including Clubhouses on International days, cycle ride, quiz night & golf day.
We are very proud of what we do & the beauty is whatever we raise in Wales, stays in Wales!!
