The Radyr and Morganstown Association (RMA) has celebrated a major fundraising milestone having collected £6,000 in support of St John Ambulance Cymru, the first aid charity for Wales.
The total was presented to volunteers from the Radyr Division of St John Ambulance Cymru following a year of community events, marking a successful continuation of the partnership first announced when the association named the charity as its official cause for 2025.
Throughout the year, residents came together at popular local events, including the Radyr and Morganstown Festival and community celebrations, helping to raise funds that will directly support lifesaving services across Cardiff and beyond.
The RMA, a community-led organisation founded in 1987, runs a wide programme of events designed to bring local people together while supporting charitable causes.
The £6,000 donation will enable St John Ambulance Cymru to continue delivering vital first aid training, community demonstrations, and emergency medical support across Wales.
Tricia France, St John Ambulance Cymru’s County Commissioner for Cardiff and the Vale, said: “Our Radyr Division was absolutely delighted to be selected as the 2025 Charity of the Year by the RMA.
“We have enjoyed a long relationship in providing first aid cover during the R&M Festival weeks, and we really appreciate this recognition of the work we do in the community.
“This year the theme was dinosaurs – and Radyr members made sure they played their part, whilst at Christmas, members followed the Santa Sleigh, receiving contributions from residents. We look forward to supporting the RMA as they continue to raise funds for charities that have a local presence in the area.”
