Last week, WFAC welcomed a visit from Sergeant Luke Simmonds after staff raised more than £500 for national charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers.
Staff taking part in Dress Down Fridays donated their money to the cause throughout April, after WFAC employee, Vince Tutton nominated the charity on behalf of his Brother in Law, Sergeant Luke Simmonds.

Later this month, Luke will captain the Armed Forces rugby team in a mammoth 25 hour game of rugby in aid of the charity. Due to take place on the 31st May, the event will be hosted at the Leicester Tigers rugby ground and is set to break the World Record for longest game of rugby ever played.
The event aims to raise funds for children of fallen soldiers, offering treats, trips and support to children dealing with the death of a parent in the armed forces. So far more than £30,000 has been raised through sponsorship and donations to the Scotty’s Word Record Fundraiser.
Also this month, St David’s Hospice Care paid WFAC a visit, as staff taking part in their annual Midnight Walk posed for photos ahead of the charitable event next month.
More than 30 employees are set to get involved in the sponsored Midnight Walk taking place on 14th June. Participants will walk through the night to complete an eight mile circular walk through Cwmbran, starting and ending in Cwmbran Stadium.

Staff will also be making donations to the charity during June as Dress Down Friday contributions will go to the cause which offers care, respite and support to people facing life limiting and terminal illnesses.
WFAC would like to wish the best of luck the all those taking part in the Scotty’s Rugby World Record attempt, as well as all those staff walking in aid of St David’s Hospice next month!
