Good causes benefit from former Rotary Club's generosity

Rhannu Llangollen Food Share was one of the good causes chosen to receive the remaining funds of the Dee Valley Rotary Club following its closure earlier this year.

During the recent Llangollen Christmas Festival its former presidents, John Clifford and Lee Todd, handed over a cheque for £1,663 to Food Share manager Stephanie Mitchell and volunteer Marie Mannings.

Welsh Air Ambulance benefitted to the tune of £1,663 and Llangollen Summer Fete has been given £500.

The air ambulance said: "We are incredibly grateful to you all for choosing Wales Air Ambulance Charity as one of your nominated Charities Of The Year. 

"Your support will help to keep our helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the ground treating the most critically ill and injured in your local area, seven days a week." 

The international disaster relief charity Shelterbox.org was another recipient of the club's cash and was sent £1,938.

An official responded: "We are extremely grateful for you club's contribution to assist people in our responses across the world."  

Total amount given to the good causes was £5,264.
