Kind hearted Labour Party members in the Aberavon Constituency have gathered together to raise money in aid of the families of the four miners tragically killed in the recent Gleision Colliery tragedy.
A total of £500 was donated to the Swansea Valley Miners Fund by those attending the party’s annual dinner held at the Towers Hotel in Jersey Marine on Friday, 07 October 2011.
A cheque for that amount was formally presented to Wayne Thomas, Secretary of the South Wales branch of the National Union of Mineworkers and a patron of the appeal, who gave an update on progress with the fund at the party’s recent General Management Committee meeting last week.
Like everyone else, our members have been touched by the impact that the terrible incident has had on the local community and on the families of the miners who have lost loved ones.
It is difficult to imagine what the families have had to go through and the sadness and grief that they have had to deal with.
Whilst the gap that the men have left can never be truly filled, the fund will play an important role in supporting their families as they look towards the future. We hope that our contribution will go a small way to helping the fund to fulfil its role.
