The night will feature five live acts, including popular South Wales band The Woods, singer songwriter Chris Kelly & 60’s covers band The Word with more acts to be announced in the coming weeks.

Deputy Head of Fundraising at Velindre, Kylie McKee said, “Money raised from our supporters is used to ensure the best possible support is offered to every patient, their families and carers dealing with cancer. It allows us to fund
specialist nurses who are fundamental to a patient’s experience, implement projects
to improve the physical
environment for a patient, such as our gardens, the Family & Children’s Room and so much more”. The Welsh Children’s Cancer Charity, LATCH solely supports children in Wales who suffer from cancer and leukaemia and their families.

Avoid a dangerous shock this bank holiday weekend
Ahead of the May bank holiday weekend, Electrical Safety First is reminding gardeners of the importance of
using an RCD (Residential Current
Determined to create gluten free pies that Coeliacs would genuinely love, it took months of rolling, mixing, baking and tasting before Pieminister felt ready to launch their gluten free pie range last year. All three pies have been heaped with praise from customers and top food awards judges have been impressed too; the pies triumphed in the Great Taste and British Pie Awards, with the Gluten Free Heidi scooping the top 2016 British Pie Award as Free From Pie Champion. To celebrate Coeliac Awareness Week this May (8th–14th), Pieminister have joined Coeliac UK’s Gluten Freevolution serving up three award winning pies and promoting a gluten free menu in their restaurants to support the eating out campaign. The three pies have been certified by Coeliac UK and are available in Pieminister’s restaurant on St. Mary Street in Cardiff as part of a dedicated

gluten free menu. The gluten free pies can be delivered direct to your door; buy them online at
www.pieminister.co.uk in boxes of 6 or 12. You will also find them in selected Waitrose branches
and Sainsbury’s
stores, or order them online through Ocado.
Pieminister’s gluten free pies are made in a gluten free-specific kitchen in-house in Bristol which is tested to ensure there is no gluten present. Pieminister’s Gluten Free Moo is made with British Beef Steak & Savernake Ale (a gluten free Stout from the Kennet & Avon Brewery in Wiltshire).

Device) outside. Research undertaken by the charity shows that one in 10 people in the UK have experienced an electric shock or accident while using an electrical appliance in the garden. Most accidents in British gardens are caused by electric lawnmowers; with flower pots, electric trimmers, pruners and even the innocent garden gnome making up the top causes of accidents in the garden.
While there are lots of ways to stay safe in the garden, an RCD is designed to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as a bare wire. RCD protection can be built into your fuse box or sockets. If you do not have built in protection, a plug-in RCD should be used with any kind of electrical equipment such as lawn mowers and hedge trimmers. Despite more than half of people reporting that they use electrical devices in their gardens, Electrical Safety First found that over a quarter of Brits had never heard of an RCD. Of those who had heard of an RCD, one in six said that they didn’t always use an RCD when using electrical equipment outside.
It is unsurprising then, that so many people have experienced electric shock or accident caused whilst using an
electrical appliance in their garden. The main reasons for electric shock included cutting through a cable, cutting through a wire, or using electrical equipment in wet conditions. Keeping up appearances is very important for people in the UK; according to the research a neat and tidy garden is most important to British people, which rated higher than a garden being a place to enjoy, or a safe place. Three times more Brits viewed neatness and tidiness as most important in the garden, with just one in eight saying safety in the garden was their top priority. Three quarters of people living in the UK maintain their outdoor space by mowing the lawn, trimming hedges and general gardening. However, it is not just green fingered gardeners who need to be aware of RCDs. As gardens become an additional living space, more people are using electrical equipment outside. Almost one in ten people with gardens said that they used mains powered entertainment systems like speakers outside. One in seven Brits have outdoor lighting in their gardens; while one in forty have a Jacuzzi, hot tub or heated pool in the garden. With any of these electrical items, a working RCD could prevent a fatal accident. For advice and tips on staying safe in the garden, visit
