EditorInspired by classmate Grace, Llanelli pupils raise over £130 for charity
Six pupils from Ysgol Gymraeg Dewi Sant in Llanelli have turned inspiration into action, raising more than £130 for charity after setting up a handmade stall at school — all sparked by the story of their classmate Grace Williams, recently named Nation Radio’s Pride of Wales Young Fundraiser of the Year.
Selling loom bands, bracelets, and other creative items, the group — Isabelle Millet, Liliwen Morris, Nel Millard, Cali West, Avalyn John, and Scarlett Price — donated the proceeds to Action for Children, Maggie’s, Cancer Research UK, and Sandy Bear.
“We are incredibly proud of our young fundraisers,” said teacher Elliw Roberts. “Their creativity, teamwork, and compassion have been truly inspiring. Grace’s story clearly had a powerful impact on them.”
The stall did a roaring trade, raising over £130Grace, 10, has raised thousands for charity through her own bracelet-making efforts, and was honoured in June for her dedication to helping vulnerable children across the UK. Her mother, Kirsty Williams, said seeing Grace’s journey inspire others was “just amazing.”
“Grace has always wanted to help others,” she said. “To know that her journey has encouraged other children to do the same is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Grace won Pride of Wales young fundraiser of the year in JuneThe school says it plans to continue supporting pupil-led initiatives, with hopes that this will be the first of many fundraising efforts sparked by young changemakers.

My treadmill lies! It reckoned my run tonight was 5.6km. My #Stryd, which I put far greater trust in, reckons I only ran 4.9km. Certainly felt more than 4.9km though... serves me right from wimping out of running in the rain.
