A GROUP of young people walked over 20 miles from Caernarfon to Pwllheli to raise funds for vulnerable people in the county.

On 1 April, a group of GISDA staff and young people took part in the lengthy trek to raise money towards GISDA’s Cymorth Llaw Grant (Helping Hand Grant).

GISDA is a charity for young vulnerable people, which offer support and opportunities for young people in Gwynedd. One of the supports available is the Cymorth Llaw Grant, a grant that is available for young people in an emergency.

Even though it is a very small grant – up to £75 – it is valuable to those that receive it.

Alice Horwood, one of the organisers from Pwllheli, and who also took part in the walk, said: “I’m glad that a group decided to participate in the sponsored walk, I hope it raises a large sum of money for the Cymorth Llaw Grant.

“It is a grant that’s used by people who desperately need it and it does make a difference in their lives.

To donate to the cause, send a text message to GISD41 £5 (or the sum you wish to donate) to 70070.
