Macmillan Cancer Support representatives reached out to the Old Railway Line Garden Centre, in Three Cocks, near Llyswen, thanking them for passing an incredible fundraising milestone. Over the past few years, the independent, family-run, garden centre has raised £21,149.97 for Macmillan.

“We are so proud of our fundraising efforts for Macmillan and to pass £20,000 over a number of years is amazing,” said catering director Shaunagh Cleary.

“It’s a charity that is close to so many and we are proud to host a charity quiz and curry night and coffee morning each year in aid of the charity.”

Macmillan fundraising manager Nicola Newhams said: “We are so grateful for the Old Railway Line’s support, which helps us be there for people living with cancer when they need us most, thank you.
