Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all your readers and NSPCC Cymru/Wales volunteers in Tenby and the surrounding area for their hard- work throughout 2006. Whether it's been by campaigning on our behalf, giving donations, fund-raising, or by simply taking the trouble to read our literature and articles in the Tenby and Narberth and Whitland Observer, you have gone a long way to supporting our vital services across Wales. So I'd like to say a huge well done to you all! Our local teams are making a big difference helping children and families in Wales and with your help we could do more of this important work. So why not make it a New Year's resolution to help the NSPCC in 2007 protect children against cruelty in Wales by joining an existing group, setting up your own or organising a fund-raising event like our new initiative the Big Bike Ride being held in June next year. We urgently need local support in this area now, so if you would like to get involved, I would very much like to talk to you, contact me on 01269 870255 .
Julie Richards, Community appeals manager, South West Wales.
