Sporting celebrities tee-off to support Gwalia Housing Trust

Legendary Welsh rugby stars and businesses across south Wales helped to raise money for the annual Gwalia Housing Trust Pro-Am Golf Tournament on July 16th.

Former players Jonathan Davies, Stuart Davies and Ieuan Evans joined 34 businesses from across south Wales at the Gwalia Housing Trust's 21st Tournament held at Langland Bay Golf Club.

Sponsored by Cowlin Construction, the event raised over £10,000 to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people across Wales. Director of the Trust, Tracey Healey said, “This is always an exciting time for the Trust and we appreciate and are so thankful for local businesses supporting us for the past 21 years. The money raised will help people within the Swansea community, making a difference to their lives.”

The Gwalia Housing Trust was established in 1988. Its ongoing work and donations help individuals and community groups, as well as the elderly and those with a wide variety of disabilities. Local projects that have benefitted from the Trust’s work include Clase Family Centre, Carmarthenshire Women’s Aid and local independent living project Doorways. As well as supporting larger scale projects, the Trust also aims to help individuals within the local community by giving regular small donations to raise their standard of living and quality of life.
