The money they have collected by various means including a very successful Wine and Cheese event enabled them to collect for Mind Cymru. They have also supported Latch and UNICEF.  With the current officers leaving school for universities later this year a new team would shorty be elected.  Charles Anderson congratulated Tom and his fellow members for all they had achieved during a very successful year.
