Committed to community well-being, the farmers’ co-operative is delighted at the amount raised. SCC’s managing director, Alan Wyn Jones said the annual Christmas raffle is a big event for all the staff and there’s much enthusiasm.

“There were a number of great prizes – bottles of wine, champagne, gin, pizza maker, M&S voucher, ice cream maker, food steamer, Apple iPad, Galaxy tablet, air fryer, a television, food hamper, karaoke party speaker, a signed Nigel Owens autobiography,” Wyn Jones said. “These were all donated by our suppliers, and we would like to thank them for their generosity.

“The funds raised will aid in advancing crucial research initiatives, supporting patients, and ultimately working towards a future free from the burden of cancer.”
