CAMAD

COMMUNITY Action Machynlleth & District is proud to receive the Powys Volunteer Award for an Organisation in the health and Wellbeing Category.

The ceremony was hosted by PAVO and held in the Strand Hall in Builth Wells. It was attended by Linda Hayward, CAMAD’s manager, Gordon Hughes, secretary and founder member, and volunteers Elaine Moore, who has been with the charity for 12 years and Paddy McKillop Linda said: “I was amazed when our foot care volunteer Angela Edwards told me she had nominated CAMAD for an award, and even more flabbergasted when we won.

“There were so many deserving organisations there it took a while to sink in at first.

“In July CAMAD celebrates its 20th year supporting the residents of Machynlleth and the Dyfi valley, so this award is a great thank you to all who have helped us to provide our services over that time.”
