Dinner donation

Leading children’s charity the NSPCC raised almost £280,000 from its recent Great Chefs’ Dinner and auction, and Rhug Estate in North Wales was proud to play a part in its success. The estate near Corwen donated an organic Dee Valley Bronze turkey, with the winning bid contributing to £279,000 raised. Rhug Estate owner Lord Newborough said: “We are thrilled for the NSPCC on raising such a huge amount. I’m sure it will have a positive impact for children and families across the UK.”

Diners were treated to a delicious fourcourse menu created by Lorna McNee, Georgia Sommeri, Jude Kereama and Spencer Metzger, of the BBC’s Great British Menu Visit www.nspcc.org.uk for the latest news and information events, as well as other activities throughout the year, to raise money for Ponthafren, a charity that aims to provide a caring community, offering support to those in need by promoting positive mental health and well-being for all.”

Kate’s a hiking hero

Adeterminedcollege worker spurred on by the death of her uncle has hiked more than 870 miles for charity. Kate Muddiman, a work-based learning manager at Coleg Cambria, has completed the Wales Coast Path, raising up to £1,500 for Cancer Research UK.

Kate, from Chester, took on the challenge to mark turning 50, and to support the organisation, which is dedicated to saving lives through research, influence and information.

“It took almost 300 walks and several pairs of trainers, but I’ve done it!” she said. “It was an amazing journey, made even more emotional as, like many, my life has been touched by cancer. My uncle passed away from the disease, and I have other family and friends who have fought it.

“My uncle was always determined to help others, and before he died he was planning a fundraising event for Cancer Research UK on his birthday. I thank all who donated and others who kept me company along the way.”
