Ton up for Warburton’s big year


NSPCC Cymru/Wales has thanked rugby legend Sam Warburton for a £100,000 donation from his testimonial year. The charity’s Childline service, its innovative work with primary school pupils and its ground- breaking eff orts to tackle child sexual exploitation in Wales will all benefi t from the signifi cant sum. A number of events to celebrate the former Wales and British Lions captain’s career and


achievements have been held over the last 12 months with NSPCC Cymru / Wales the main charity benefi ciary of the testimonial year. On 20th February the Cardiff


Blues legend


handed a cheque to the leading child protection charity and said: “Picking the NSPCC as my main testimonial benefi ciary was a no- brainer. I’ve seen the charity’s incredible eff orts fi rst-hand and I’m


delighted to be able to hand over this cheque. “There’s so much groundbreaking work going on in Wales - from helping children who’ve been abused or are at risk of it, to answering thousands of calls at Childline. The NSPCC aims to reach every single primary school in Wales with its ‘Speak Out, Stay Safe’ assemblies, speaking to nearly 75,000 pupils and visiting more than


465 schools in Wales in the 2017/18 school year alone. And the NSPCC’s three Welsh centres in Cardiff , Swansea and Prestatyn provide direct help to children who badly need it, including specialist


counselling for children and young people who have been the victims of sexual abuse. Des Mannion, the head of NSPCC Cymru/Wales, added: “The NSPCC is fi ghting for every childhood in Wales


and we’re extremely grateful to Sam for his support. “This contribution will make a huge diff erence to children in Wales and we thank everyone involved in this successful testimonial year.”
