The chair of of Llangollen Prostate Cancer Support Group has praised the residents of Green Lane for lighting up their row of houses to raise money for the charity.
They've decked out their Victorian terrace, which overlooks Llangollen railway station, with a colourful array of Christmas lights with the aim of filling a £500 sackful of seasonal cheer for Prostate Cancer UK by January 5 next year.
Garry Perriton, who is acting as their spokesperson, said: "We've thought about Green Lane Christmas lights for a number of years and this year we've finally got around to doing it.
"Prostate Cancer UK is a cause that is close to our hearts. It affects so many lives, and by donating, people are helping to fund vital research and support services that make a real difference.
"We have produced a flyer explaining what we are doing which we will display in shops and bars around the town."
After reading the story on llanblogger, the charity's local branch chair Stuart Davies said: "I’ve just seen the article about Green Lane and Prostate Cancer. Excellent stuff. I have made a donation and I will put this on the agenda for our next meeting, which is on December 17 in the Hand Hotel in Llangollen at 2pm, to ask our members for their support.
"Could I also ask that anybody who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and would like to talk about it and be part of a group which provides support to come along to our monthly meetings.
"They take place on the third Wednesday of the month at 2pm in the Hand Hotel Llangollen. A small fee is charged to pay for tea and coffee with the Hand Hotel letting us use the room for free. All are welcome."
