A Ceredigion luncheon club has raised more than £1,600 for Blood Bikes Wales.

The Cwcan Cynllo Coed-y-Bryn Luncheon Club has been cooking for the community and fundraising for charities for more than a decade.

The latest charity to benefit from their hard work and generosity is Blood Bikes Wales.

Started in 2013 by Buddug Thomas, Morfudd Davies, Eluned Morgan, and Ann Jones, (later followed by Sue Davies), Cwcan Cynllo, based at Neuadd Coed-y-bryn Hall, has provided a warm welcome and hot meal to people on the last Thursday of every month since.

The club has evolved and expanded over time and the ladies now expect to cook for in excess of 50 people at each meeting.

Cwcan Cynllo is very popular and highly valued by its members.

Siân Williams from Llandysul said: "Cwcan Cynllo Coed-y-Bryn provides a regular opportunity for the local community to engage and socialise.

"As well as ensuring the wellbeing of our regulars we deliver meals to those who are unable to attend.

"The fundraising is a real bonus and over the years the ladies have been pleased to raise money for a variety of charities and associations including Wales Air Ambulance, First Responders, and within their local communities for surgeries and care homes."

At the end of October the ladies of Cwcan Cynllo hosted Mathew and Vicky from Blood Bikes Wales to talk about the charity.

The pair were treated to a hot meal, and presented with a cheque for £1,612.80 raised by lunch club members to support their important work delivering medical essentials for the NHS across Wales.

Mathew said: "Thank you to everyone involved in Cwcan Cynllo, not only for your incredibly generous donation to the charity, but also for what has been a most enjoyable day, and a wonderful lunch.

"Not only have you made this very generous donation to Blood Bikes Wales today, but your fundraising over the past decade has been quite incredible.

"Thank you ladies, and very well done."
