Cartrefi Conwy annual fun day

Yesterday CAIS had a number of stands at the Cartrefi Conwy annual fun day. Hundreds of people from across north Wales attended the event which was held at Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay.

Caffi CAIS provided hot drinks, snacks and homemade cakes to the hungry residents and the Caffi's new Jams and Chutneys proved very popular with the guests.

Change Step Triathlon

 

The Change Step Triathlon

 

If you would like to support the Change Step team please click here to donate online

In September, Change Step personnel will stage a ‘triathlon’ during which volunteers will be cycling, walking and swimming. Three cyclists - all ex-military - will be notching-up 150-plus miles around key centres of population across North Wales, and another three will be walking north from Llangollen to Prestatyn along the Offa’s Dyke path as it snakes its way along the chain of Clwydian hills. All participants will then swim in relays at the Nova Centre in Prestatyn, where a reception committee and media event is being planned.
 

What we are raising money for

All funds raised from the triathlon will go towards training ex-military personnel to become peer mentors who in turn can use their own experiences to help others in a similar situation.
