Big Welsh Month

Age Cymru is calling on the people of Wales to celebrate Wales and Welshness during ‘Big Welsh Month' in March.

We are organising the fun-filled month to raise funds to support our work with older people.

Emma Lionel of Age Cymru says:

"Big Welsh Month is Age Cymru's new fundraiser which kicks off on St David's Day and it runs all through March.

"We're asking the people of Wales to get involved, celebrate Wales and everything that's Welsh, and have fun while helping Age Cymru to help older people across Wales.

"Big Welsh Month is a great way of bringing everyone together to celebrate the diversity of Wales and we're all very excited by it - we've even had someone in Melbourne in Australia contacting us wanting to be part of the celebrations.

"So get involved and have fun with Age Cymru, your friends and family by celebrating Wales and Welshness during Big Welsh Month this March."
