This weekend Councillor Christine Cave, Mayor of the Vale of Glamorgan and Councillor for Llandow and Ewenny, along with her Consort and Husband Alun will run the Barry Island 10k.
Councillor Cave will also be joined by eight members of Council staff who will all be raising funds or the Mayoral Foundation, which was started last year by then Mayor Councillor Leighton Rowlands.
The Mayor's Foundation Grant Fund aims to offer grants to Community Groups, the Voluntary Sector and not for profit organisations towards the costs of initiatives within the Vale of Glamorgan that help to support the Council's vision of 'strong communities with a bright future.'
Since it was launched, the Mayor's Foundation has given grants to Barry Round Table, RNLI Barry Lifeboat, Tir a Môr District Scouts, Valeplus, Valeways, Ty Cadoc’s Residents Association and Barry Male Voice Choir, to name just a few.
Donations can be made via the JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfun…/mayorcllrchristine-cave
The Mayor is also inviting members of the public to support Christine, Alun and the team of Council staff as they run the Barry Island 10k on Sunday 4th August from 9am.
