Welcome to the North Wales Cancer Appeal
Massive achievement Sally Smart and her Breast Friends
Earlier this year Just Giving opened nominations for the 2024 GoCardless JustGiving Awards.
They had over 18,000 nominations, and after an extensive shortlisting process, our very own Sally Smart, from Prestatyn and her “Breast Friends” have been shortlisted to one of the top three finalists in one of the 6 categories, the Creative section.
Her fundraising for the North Wales Cancer Appeal has been nothing short of spectacular. Sally and her Breast Friends have raised in excess of £30,000 for the charity. The North Wales Cancer Appeal continue to be hugely grateful to them all.
In order for Sally and her friends to go forward and be successful in winning the top Just Giving award, they are opening the voting up to the general public. So we are inviting as many of you as possible to vote for her by following this link.

Open Garden
The Open Garden on Sunday May 19th was a great success. The sun shone and the people came, the number in excess of 600.
Our huge thanks to our hosts David and Lynda Jones of Foxhall, Henllan for opening their splendid garden to allow us to raise money for the charity. We have made a large sum of money and we are so grateful to them and to all who attended.
We had a superb collection of cakes, many made by members of Henllan Church, the WI, our committee and many more kind people. We are truly grateful to them all.
People sat in the sunshine and enjoyed their afternoon tea surrounded by a garden full of colour, rolling hills and farmland.
A huge thank you to the stall holders and everyone who contributed and helped throughout the day.
