A charitable nursery pupil from Barmouth has raised £229 for the town’s Cylch Meithrin by completing a two-mile sponsored walk.

Elliot Joyce, aged three, walked the length of Barmouth promenade and back on 6 August, raising over £200 for Cylch Meithrin y Tonnau, a local playgroup based at the town’s leisure centre.

The Cylch offers Welsh-medium education and activities for children of pre-school age.

Elliot’s mum Emma pointed out that he was the only pupil at the Cylch to decide to take part in a fundraiser for them after the playgroup appealed for families and children to raise money to support the centre.

“He’s been absolutely brilliant,” she said. “Well done from Mum and Dad.”
