On Sunday we held a Christmas charity evening to raise money for my Lord Mayor’s charities, which this year are Llys Nini, Crisis and Unity through Diversity. Then, on Monday evening, I welcomed St John’s Cymru for their festive fundraiser, to support the tremendous work they do in local communities.
The Lord Mayor’s Community Play Volunteer Awards recognise people who ensure youngsters have access to safe, good quality play opportunities in all areas of the City. Volunteers give up their time for free, supporting their local project or helping to run play schemes. At lunchtime today I will be at the Mansion House to present accreditation certificates to these community members, recognising the work they do with our young people.
Tomorrow, I will be at St Mary’s Church in the city centre for Tenovus Cancer Care’s Lovelight Concert - a celebration to support everyone affected by cancer, and a chance to remember loved ones that have been lost.
The city’s 50th anniversary celebrations continue on Saturday, when representatives from City of Sanctuary, who do so much to provide a safe haven for those fleeing persecution in their home countries, join me back at the Mansion House.
Later, I will be at Morriston’s Tabernacle Chapel for a performance of Handel’s Messiah – a favourite of the festive season. As Maggie’s annual Christmas concert in All Saints Church in Oystermouth, takes place at the same time, the Deputy Lord Mayor will attend this event.
There will be more music on Sunday as Swansea Philharmonic Choir celebrate their 60th anniversary year with a performance of Bach’s B Minor Mass at the Brangwyn Hall.
