Charity partnership in full bloom

Two charities have launched a new partnership with a special event to celebrate Mothers’ Day.

Marie Curie, the UK’s leading terminal illness charity, has teamed up with Penllergare Valley Woods Trust, near Swansea, for a special daffodil event on Sunday 6^th March.

The event will give visitors the opportunity to sponsor a daffodil to raise money for Marie Curie as part of the charity’s Great Daffodil Appeal. The event will also provide visitors with the chance to learn more about exciting development plans at Penllergare Valley Woods.

Sara Bass, Fundraising Manager for Wales, said: “We are delighted that Penllergare Valley Woods Trust has chosen to support Marie Curie and we look forward to working with the group’s trustees over the coming months. The Mother’s Day event provides a lovely opportunity for families to get together in an idyllic, yet convenient, location just off the M4, while the site also provides a picturesque, peaceful setting to remember those who are no longer with us.”

An Army of volunteers have spent more than a decade transforming Penllergare Valley Woods back into the Victorian horticultural paradise it once was under the stewardship of John Dillwyn Llewelyn. The project has received £2.4m in funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the old walled garden on the site.
