Donations

Art in Penallt is a not-for-profit organisation, run by a team of volunteers. Each year we strive to generate sufficient funds from our annual exhibition and event to donate any surplus to chosen charities. This year we are pleased to once again be supporting local charities: Monmouth & District Foodbank, Bridges Centre and St John Ambulance Cymru - Monmouth.

We could not have been more delighted in 2022 to support the Monmouth & District Foodbank, Bridges Centre Social Circles and St John Ambulance Cymru - Monmouth, with donations totalling £6,600. The recent donations bring the total amount donated by Art in Penallt to various charities since 2011, to over £20,000.

Meeting recently with Mike Brain of Monmouth & District Foodbank and his volunteers, the Art in Penallt team learned how the service works in support of those in crisis and that the donation of £3,000 would go directly to supporting several local families over this Christmas period.

At Bridges Centre Monmouth, Ben Ford and the team there explained that the donation will support the work of Social Circles, a bi-weekly get together for vulnerable, lonely or isolated seniors in the community. Project Lead Andrea Charles told us: “Social Circles members were overwhelmed to be handed a cheque for £3,000 to spend on equipment and resources for their group."

We are very grateful to St. John Ambulance Cymru Monmouth for providing support at our event and had pleasure in donating £600 to the local branch.
