Builth Wells Rotary Club has donated a total of £1,000 to two local causes following a recent council meeting.

Rachael Hughes received a £500 donation on behalf of Builth Fest, which organises the town’s popular Summer Carnival. A long-standing volunteer, Rachael has been involved in running the event for the past 17 years and said she was overwhelmed by the generosity of the Rotary Club.

A further £500 cheque was presented to Lisa Griffiths, CEO of The Bracken Trust Cancer Charity. Lisa recently visited the Club to give an informative talk on the wide range of services the Trust provides. She emphasised that this vital support can only continue thanks to the donations the charity depends on.
