\n Helen Tweddle, 64, of Glamorganshire Golf Club in Penarth, chose Llamau as her captain\u2019s charity for 2025-26, building on a relationship with the organisation that began more than a decade ago.\n<\/p>\n
\n Back then, she opted to donate to a charity instead of sending Christmas cards, finding the issue of homelessness particularly moving during the festive season.\n<\/p>\n
\n Over the past year, Ms Tweddle, supported by vice captain and ladies captain-elect Jen Harris, helped raise \u00a35,050.25, including Gift Aid, through a series of events at the club.\n<\/p>\n
\n The fundraising programme included a Ladies Charity Day, Captain\u2019s Charity Day, charity golf competitions, Easter and Christmas fairs, raffles, and auctions.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Tweddle and Ms Harris also attended Llamau\u2019s 40th anniversary Impact Event at the Senedd on Wednesday, October 22.\n<\/p>\n
\n The event brought together supporters, fundraisers, staff, and politicians to celebrate the charity\u2019s work.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Tweddle said: “Listening to the young people speak reminded everyone why fundraising matters.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Their courage was remarkable and it was impossible not to be moved by their stories.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The choir was a wonderful way to end the day, and it was lovely to see CEO Sam Austin singing alongside colleagues.\n<\/p>\n
\n “She brings as much passion to the stage as she does to leading the organisation.”\n<\/p>\n
\n She hopes the club\u2019s fundraising success will inspire others to support Llamau\u2019s mission.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “Every donation, no matter the size, can make a real difference to somebody facing homelessness.\n<\/p>\n
\n “If hearing these stories encourages even one more person to support Llamau, that would be a wonderful legacy from my year as Ladies Captain.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Helen Tweddle, 64, of Glamorganshire Golf Club in Penarth, chose Llamau as her captain\u2019s charity for 2025-26, building…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-815319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
