Huw Reynolds, ATEB Director, recently presented a cheque for £1,000 to Porfield Social Activity Centre (near Huw’s home village in Pembrokeshire). The centre provides support to adults with learning difficulties and helps to integrate them into the community.
The funds were raised by Huw’s charity bike ride from Whitehaven to Tynemouth.
A further cheque for approximately £1,000 will be given to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Thank you to everybody who donated to both these worthy causes.

FCS Transitional Arrangements
Steve Bailey Compliance Update
As you will be aware the Financial Services Authority ceased to be and the Financial Conduct Authority took over the regulation of financial advice firms on 01 April 2013.
The FSA issued PS13/05 last week which includes updated rules and transition arrangements. The policy statement itself is 88 pages but the ‘appendix (3)’ that accompanies it is a mere 1990 pages so you must excuse us for not as yet absorbing every word. The document can be seen here.
