RESIDENTS in need throughout the Vale can look forward to some Christmas cheer thanks to a Rotary Club of Barry donation.

The charity organisation has been supporting the Barry & Vale Food Bank for the past 18 months, purchasing food to be donated so they can make full use of any offers available. The Rotary Club of Barry has now increased the giving to £1000 of food per Rotary year to cater for increased demand.

Rotary club of Barry president Peter Battle, accompanied by fellow Rotarians past president Carl Kerr, president Elect Robin Pitcher and Rotarian Alan Yeomans, recently made a special visit to donate extra food for Christmas.

The support has been made possible thanks to the ongoing generous support to the Rotary Club of Barry by the general public.
