RHAYADER and District Male Voice Choir chose three local well-deserving charities to benefit from the proceeds of their annual concert for 2023.
The three charities were the local food banks from Knighton and Presteigne, Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader. The money was presented to representatives from the three charities at the choir’s rehearsal venue in Cwmdauddwr on Tuesday evening, November 28.
The choir asked its three eldest members, from each of the charity’s three locations, to present the cheques, with each valued at £250.

Roy Morgan, from Llandrindod, presented the first cheque to Tessa Bradley and Anna Potgieter from Llandrindod Wells Foodbank. The choir’s serving president, Michael Bennett, presented the next cheque to Natalie Vane and Linda Knox from The Arches, Rhayader Food Bank.
The third cheque went to Knighton and Presteigne Foodbank and was accepted by the choir’s oldest member, Walter Evans, aged 90, on their behalf. Walter will be passing it on to Helen Anderson from the charity.
The ladies present each expressed their gratitude before retiring to the back of the hall to enjoy some of the better moments of the choir’s rehearsal.
