The captain of a Powys golf club has donated over £1,000 to a cancer charity in Mid Wales after a series of fundraising events.

Rob Williams, Captain at Welshpool Golf Club for 2023, has donated £1,225 to the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund.

The money was raised through a number of events and raffles held over the year in and around the club.

Mr Williams and Jonathan Pierce, the club’s 2023 Vice Captain and current captain for 2024, met with Lingen Davies representative Karen Roberts.

In handing over the donation, Mr Williams highlighted the work of Lingen Davies, noting that his wife Beki and mother have both benefited from care that Lingen Davies helped provide at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

The charity, which has existed for 45 years, aims to enhance and improve the situation for local cancer patients.

Launched in 1979, to bring cancer services closer to the people of Shropshire, Telford and Mid-Wales, Lingen Davies estimates that more than 100,000 people have had their cancer treatment and care improved as a direct impact of their work and cancer appeals.
