VOLUNTEERS of the Rhosddu Fun Day recently attended the Miners' Rescue Project to present a cheque for £1,400. 

The Miner's Rescue, which aims to capture the stories and memories of those in the Wrexham mining community, has undergone significant restoration in the past 10 years. 

The site, based on Maesgwyn Road in the city centre, hosts a number of community groups and support groups and also boasts a community cafe. 

This was the surplus from the event held on Rhosddu Park last month.

In a statement, the volunteers said: "The day went well and we’re grateful to all the stalls that donated as well as other local businesses that helped make it a successful day.

Rhosddu Fun Day volunteers added: "The Wrexham Miners' Project is a fantastic community resource - and welcomes visits from schools and community groups.

"It’s a Tardis that has so much going on and also makes a great breakfast! We're delighted to be able to support another community enterprise having donated a similar sum to Wrexham Foodbank last year."
