BRITISH Heart Foundation Cymru is to benefit from FUW Christmas cards, including one designed by a Tregaron schoolgirl.

The charity will be a winner thanks to a Wales-wide primary school competition, organised by the union, to design a Christmas card with a farming theme which attracted hundreds of entries.

The competition was split into two categories – English and Welsh designs.

The Welsh category was won by Savanna George, 10, of Ysgol Henry Richard School, Primary Campus, Tregaron. Her winning design depicted a colourful line-up of farm animals, all dressed with Christmas hats, featuring the slogan ‘Amaeth Am Byth’.

The winner of the English category was Caleb Vater, nine, of St Nicholas House, Christ College, Brecon.

FUW President Glyn Roberts said: “The competition was a roaring success, attracting hundreds of entries from across Wales. The standard was very high and presented the judges with a tough task when it came to choosing the winners. I would like to thank every single child who entered the competition and to tell them that without their participation the contest would not have been such a success."
