Staff and foster carers from one of South Wales’ leading independent fostering agencies donned their black ties and cocktail dresses to attend a James Bond themed charity ball raising nearly £10,000 for Diabetes UK. Foster Care Associates (FCA) Cymru South were one of the sponsors for the event held at St David’s Hotel in Cardiff Bay, which was partly organised by FCA’s carer recruitment offi cer Nicola Matthews. In January 2015 her cousin Peter Baldwin passed away due to undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes.


Since then Peter’s mum


Beth, Dad Stuart and sister Lia have hosted various fundraising activities to raise awareness of the condition and the importance of early diagnosis. Commenting Nicola Matthews, from FCA Cymru South, said: “The Ball was an incredible success taking the total the family has raised over two years for Diabetes UK to nearly £65,000. Peter’s mum Beth tirelessly campaigns and with the support of local businesses and charities is making a big difference here in Wales, liaising with Welsh Government to ensure all policies and procedures in relation to this debilitating condition are being carried out.” The Baldwin family also received a Director’s Award at the Ball from Diabetes UK for their dedication.

Cardiff Riverside lays out a feast for St David’s Day celebrations


Billed as a St David’s Day food extravaganza Cardiff Riverside Market will be hosting Welsh food producers from all over the country on Sunday 5th March Hot Welsh cakes fresh from the griddle, artisan pies, ales, honey and much more are among the offerings of tasters for visitors to try from around 40 traders - with all produce grown, reared or produced in Wales.

nation and what better occasion than this, to come together and show our pride and support for Welsh producers and the luxuriously tempting goods that they offer us. It’s a fun event, great for families to come and try something different, unique and delicious, from beer and gin for the grownups to healthy snacks and treats for the kids. I think it’s very appropriate that Cardiff as our capital city should put on something special to mark St David’s Day and this year we are going all out to celebrate the very essence of Wales.” Part of the Welsh Government’s St David’s Day #ThisisWales campaign, Welsh food and drink producers will be celebrating the nation’s best local produce in the Welsh capital as well as further afi eld in London. The #ThisisWales campaign reveals a world of incredible tastes, top quality ingredients, and beautifully designed packaging and is about giving Welsh food and drink the recognition


it


deserves. A fun day out for all the family, come and join in the festivities, try the best of Welsh produce and support local traders between 10am – 2pm on Sunday 5th March and celebrate St David’s Day.


Treowen Stars AFC under 9’s with their new kit from Glamorgan Telecom.


A newly formed girls’ under 9’s football team based in Treowen, has scored its fi rst club kit after receiving a donation from local company Glamorgan Telecom.


The recently formed Treowen Stars AFC under 9’s came to the attention of Glamorgan Telecom’s sales director Michael Kennelly when his eight-year- old daughter, Esmee, joined the club. They didn’t have a kit to play in so the company stepped in with a donation of £400 to help purchase a kit for the entire


team. With a fresh new kit, the new team is ready to play and they want to encourage more girls in the area to join their ambitious team. Michael Kennelly, who helped get the kit together for the team said: “We are delighted to support this young team as they start out. Hopefully, with the new kits, the girls will walk out onto the pitch full of confi dence and we wish them the best of luck for their upcoming matches.”
