Last week staff and trustees were invited along to Bridgend Soroptimists New Year dinner, where President Ruth Davies-Kemp, presented Emmaus South Wales a cheque for \u00a32,400 following a successful fundraising raffle.<\/p>\n

The raffle was drawn at our Christmas meeting on 11th December and featured some fantastic prizes. Some examples include a \u00a3100 jewellery voucher from D & M Davies Jewellers, a luxury Christmas hamper, and a \u00a350 John Lewis voucher donated by Qualia Law.<\/p>\n

Bridgend Soroptimists decided to organise the raffle after a visit from Chair of Trustees, Julie Raikes, and Companion Dean last year. Julie and Dean visited a couple of club meetings and spoke to the Soroptimists about the work Emmaus South Wales do to support people overcoming homelessness and social exclusion.<\/p>\n

Julie Raikes, Chair of Trustees at Emmaus South Wales said, \u201cOn behalf of everyone at Emmaus South Wales, we would like to say a huge thank you to Bridgend Soroptimists and all those who participated in the raffle. Your kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of the people we support.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
