VALE-BASED health and fitness groups Brawd Men's Health and Ms.Fit Women's Health raised £300 for Ty Hafan.

Accepting the donation on behalf of Ty Hafan - based in Sully - administrator Charlotte Thomas said: "We are very grateful for the donation, and would love to welcome Brawd and Ms.Fit members for a visit to our hospice."

Company director, Mark Lloyd, 42 of Barry said: "I am really proud of our members for their efforts in raising this money.

“At Brawd and Ms.Fit we love the Ty Hafan cause, and were delighted when the opportunity came about to support them with the Rainbow Run event last year.

“Whenever there is an opportunity to support a good cause, we'll always look to get behind it."

Members Andrew Harris, from Rhoose, and Mark Lawlor, from Barry, co-ordinated a raffle at the group's annual festive event, where entrants were able to win a variety of prizes from cinema and concert tickets, to a bag of peppers.
