During Val’s presidency this year, donations have been made to her main charities: Cornwall Hospice Care, Children’s Hospice South West and the Merlin Centre. Other donations have been made to Cornwall Blood Bikes, Operation Smile, SANDS and the Wave Project.

New president Pat Bryar has named her charities for the year as the Cornwall Air Ambulance Heli II Appeal and the Merlin Centre.
