Chris and Eleri back Big Welsh Month

Chris Needs and Eleri Siôn are the latest names to support Big Welsh Month - our month-long celebration of Wales. 

They join the ranks of Alex Jones, Aled Jones, Ruth Madoc, Roy Noble and Paul Thorburn by helping us to promote this campaign.

Big Welsh Month is our fundraising campaign which runs during March.
   
We asked Chris and Eleri to tell us why they love Wales.
 
Chris Needs said:

"I love Wales and I travel the length and breadth of our principality meeting lots of my listeners.

"If I'm in the north they are as close to me as the south.

"To me there is no north/south divide - it's not south Wales or north Wales - it's plain and simple ‘Wales'.

"Food plays a big part of being home and I have a secret stash of cafe bars and restaurants scattered to feed me wherever I am.

"Although my favourite restaurant is ‘Simons' in Gibraltar, it's always nice to be home in Cardiff.

"Cymru am byth!"

Eleri Siôn said:

"I love Wales because of the people.

"Welsh humour and banter is second to none.

"Having travelled extensively throughout Wales over the years the welcome is always so warm wherever I go."

Richard Nicholls, Age Cymru's Director of Income Resources said:  
 
"We're very grateful to Chris and Eleri for telling us why they love Wales.

"Their support, along with that of Alex Jones, Aled Jones, Roy Noble, Ruth Madoc and Paul Thorburn, is helping us to raise awareness of the Big Welsh Month. 
 
"Why don't you get involved and have fun with Age Cymru, your friends and family by celebrating Wales and Welshness during Big Welsh Month this March?"
