Bala charity walk raises £3,000 for local causes

Individuals and groups raise sponsorship for their chosen charity and the registration fees contribute to Rotary chosen charities. Many walk for pleasure rather than a charity. This year £3,000 was raised for Rotary’s various good causes including Wales Air Ambulance and Mountain Rescue, and a special appeal this year for Moldova Rotary to assist in a Maternal and Child Health project raised an additional £1,700. Moldova, bordered by Ukraine, ranks among the poorest nations in Europe and has accommodated over 120,000 Ukrainian refugees, mainly elderly people, women and children.
