Kind-hearted choristers help family centre

The kind-hearted choristers of Cor Meibion Llanelli have presented a cheque for £100 to the St Paul's Family Centre in Llanelli.
The money came from the choir's Christmas charity fund and was presented to Debbie James, family centre manager at the St Paul's Family Centre.
She said the centre users were very grateful and had made a special 'thank-you' card for choir members.
