The Mayor of Bangor, Councillor John Wyn Williams, recently celebrated his 70th birthday.
A large gathering of friends and family attended the birthday celebration at Bangor Rugby Club with the aim of collecting money for the Alzheimer’s Society.
The Alzheimer’s Society is very close to John’s heart and it is immense pride that John was able to collect the sum in excess of £2,500.
The money collected is to be used locally in the Gwynedd and Anglesey area for the Alzheimer Society’s ‘Side By Side’ service.
Side by Side is a volunteer-led service which helps people living with dementia to continue to play active roles in their communities. The service helps them to lead fulfilling lives, and reduces loneliness and isolation.
A cheque was recently presented by Councillor John Wyn Williams to a local representative of the Alzheimer Society.
