The Edge and Gen Charity Sponsored Sleepover

It might be Red Nose Day, but we did it first!  The total amount raised by the youth "No Slumber" sleepover event last month was £1,162.97

This will go to Tearfund for use with their work with AIDS orphans. With Gift Aid it will be enough money to provide the needs of 3 families of 6 orphans for a whole year!

Well done to all who took part and sponsored - Dave Fielder

Mourners wore red to pay last respects to Peter

MOURNERS were asked to wear red or something that would have made Peter laugh to the service for multiple sclerosis sufferer Peter Rees. The 36-year-old, of Heath, Cardiff, died at home with his GP wife Siaron and their daughter Catrin, just a few days before Christmas.

His funeral was held on Saturday 10th in the morning followed in the afternoon by a service of celebration at Highfields Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations for the charity Speakeasier have been requested. The charity funds speech aids for people like Peter, who was unable to talk because of his condition.
