Edwina at the Cardiff Eisteddfod helping sign ups



Edwina Hart the Minister for Health today attended the Donate Wales stand at the National Eisteddfod. She chatted to staff and wanted to understand the events going on during the week. Sign ups had been good during Edwina's visit and she was joined by partners in the Campaign RNIB and the British Heart Foundation. Edwina Hart thanked volunteers and all charities involved for the Government voluntary sector partnership.

Leni Hatcher who is at the Eisteddfod all week for the Kidney Wales Foundation and herself a recipient of a kidney said " It is not often you get a Minister taking such a keen interest. We were all impressed with her.".

Chair of Kidney Wales Roy J Thomas said "Leni and the Team have put a great deal of effort into the stand which is far from boring. children have flocked all day to write messages. It looks like a great Eisteddfod for Donate Wales and the Campaign".
