Members of Llanbrynmair Merched y Wawr have raised £1,000 for Cancer Research Wales following a successful Pink Afternoon Tea held at the Old Chapel Schoolroom in the village.
The event, which took place on August 22, brought together members and supporters to raise money for the charity and increase awareness of the importance of cancer research.
A cheque for £1,000 was presented by branch president Eleanor Jones to Merched y Wawr national president Bethan Picton Davies.
During the event, Mrs Picton Davies spoke about the impact cancer has on so many families and highlighted the importance of continued fundraising to support research into the disease.

The Pink Afternoon Tea formed part of the branch's ongoing commitment to supporting charitable causes and was well supported by the local community.
Members are hoping to add to the total raised for Cancer Research Wales when they hold a whist drive later this month, with proceeds from the event also going towards the charity.
The branch expressed its gratitude to everyone who attended the afternoon tea, donated money or helped organise the event.
Members said the generosity shown by the community had helped make the fundraiser a success and would contribute towards the continuing work of Cancer Research Wales.
