Gowerton Comprehensive Supports Ty Olwen

Emily Rees, Holly Pitson and Emma Larmond, Year 8 pupils at Gowerton Comprehensive School are once again using their fundraising skills, this time for Ty Olwen. Last year Holly and her friends raised £500 for the Christian Lewis Trust from a fashion show. Holly lost her father Chris in Ty Olwen in March 2011 at the age of 53 and has decided, with the help of the school, to organise an event for Ty Olwen. This is being taken on by her year group who are holding an enterprise day on Thursday 4th July and stalls will include a Chocolate Fountain, Cakes, Jelly Beans, Fruit Smoothies and many others with all the proceeds going towards their efforts.  Later in the year there will be a ‘T’ Shirt and Poster Design Competition. Chairman of Ty Olwen Trust Mrs Helen Murray met with the girls at the school and said “The girls were so keen to get involved and I am sure their enthusiasm will pass on to all their friends.”
