The charity are urging other community groups and sports club to sign up for a free first aid training session with St John Ambulance Cymru and to get involved with some fundraising in support of their charitable work.
Einir Watts-Rees, the church’s treasurer said, “As a group we really appreciate the work of St John Ambulance Cymru in the communities of Wales. We decided to donate as a way of saying a big thank you to all their staff and volunteers on behalf of our community”.
Alan Drury, Community and Events Manager at St John Ambulance Cymru, visited the church earlier this month, to thank them for their contribution. “It was lovely to catch up with some of their members who shared memories of receiving free first aid training from St John Ambulance Cymru in their youth. It reminded me of the legacy the charity has in people’s lives” he said.
“We want to say a big thank you to Eglwys Gynulleidfaol Pantycrwys for their donation, it really will make a difference, and help us train more people in vital first aid skills.”
