Raising money for help for heroes fund
The Regimental Information Team of the Royal Welsh Regiment will be at Celtic Crusaders on Saturday for their match against Salford City Reds, raising money for their Help for Heroes fund.
This fund was set up to help soldiers who have suffered bad injuries including loss of limbs or sight, and helps them to get the rehabilitation that they need. They are currently raising money to build a rehabilitation pool in their grounds at Hedley Court Military Hospital.
The Royal Welsh have close links with this fund due to their tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. On Saturday, they will be bringing a Warrior armoured personal carrier, an inflatable assault course for the children and a climbing wall. The climbing wall will be run by members of the Army Cadet Force from the Bridgend area, who will also be selling "Help for Heroes" wristbands for £2 and collecting any loose change that fans may have spare.
This is a really worth while cause for people who never normally ask for anything, but give so much.
Please help the heroes on Saturday. Celtic Crusaders v Salford City Reds kicks off at 5.30pm. The curtain raiser, Crusaders Colts v Warrington Wizards is at 2.30pm while the gates open at 2pm with the Royal Welsh festivities starting soon after.
