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.
