A dinner held by NFU Cymru Brecon & Radnor has raised more than £8,000, for two important charities.

Organised by County chairman Rob Powell and his family, the event at Blaenbwch farm, near Builth Wells pulled in more than 200 attendees from across the county.

The funds will be evenly distributed between the Brain Tumour Charity and the Wales Air Ambulance, each receiving a cheque of £4,100.

Mr Powell said: "I am delighted the event was such a success, not only for the tremendous sum raised, but for the bringing together of the community for the evening.

"Everyone contributed so generously, especially those donating for the charity auction.

"We are very grateful as a family to those who helped and supported us in putting on another fantastic event at Blaenbwch, where we have raised collectively over £50,000 for various charities over the years."

The donation to the Wales Air Ambulance was presented at the NFU Cymru stand during the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd, an important fixture for Welsh farming and rural communities.

Dr Sue Barnes, Wales Air Ambulance chief executive, said: "We are incredibly grateful to the NFU Cymru Brecon & Radnor Chair, and all members in the region, for this significant donation.

"Wales Air Ambulance belongs to the people of Wales.

"We are merely the conduit between people who want to help others and those who are in a life or limb-threatening situation.

"This donation will have a tangible impact on our future patients and their loved ones.

"We know just how important the Wales Air Ambulance is to agricultural and rural communities.

"This is reflected in the generosity and passionate support towards the charity, something which is truly humbling.

"We aim to ensure that we continue to deliver the best possible lifesaving service and constantly improve that service when opportunities arise."
