Sunday 8th May
CONCERT FOR UKRAINE All Saints Church Porthcawl, 7pm ‘The Armed Man - A Mass for Peace’ This performance by The Augmented Mid Glamorgan Savoyards was inspired by the performance of the work in St. David’s Hall conducted by Karl Jenkins himself. ‘The Armed Man’, commissioned by the Royal Armouries for the Millennium, has emerged as the most popular of Karl Jenkins’ works. It reflects the ravages of war but finishes with the optimistic note that ‘BETTER IS PEACE THAN ALWAYS WAR’. Sadly, this message has not yet been learnt. All the proceeds from the concert will, therefore, be given to help the people of Ukraine. Please come along to help them. Tickets £10 or £15 may be obtained through telephone numbers 01656 85761 / 01656 653326, from members of the company or at the door.

Guide Dogs Cymru is calling on readers to walk 250,000 steps in May and raise vital funds for people with sight loss. Supporters all over Wales have signed up for the Walk Your Socks Off challenge to raise at least £125 – the cost of a starter kit for a new guide dog owner. In return, Guide Dogs will replace their worn-out socks with an exclusive blue-and-yellow pair. Ruth Evans, Community Fundraising Relationship Manager for Guide Dogs, said: “Walk Your Socks Off is the perfect challenge to help you have fun and keep active with your friends and family. You can do it anywhere, and our Facebook page has lots of top tips to help people rack up the steps. Looking for an alternative to walking? Why not try skipping or salsa? “By taking 250,000 steps during May and raising £125, you’ll help people living with sight loss to step out with confidence too. You can do it as an individual, a family or a team. When you sign up, you’ll receive your socks with a brand new design and, as you hit fundraising milestones, you’ll receive exciting rewards.” To get involved and sign up, visit https://givp.nl/e/57kAcdhN
