New Vale Resort Club Captain Richard Jones has pledged to turn his year-long role into a money-making term for the Y Bwthyn palliative care unit at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

Jones has made a commitment to fundraise for the Friends of Y Bwthyn volunteers who selflessly give up their own time to support the unit in Llantrisant and patients in the community with life-limiting illnesses.

After naming Friends of Y Bwthyn as his charity of the year, Jones will work with club colleagues to organise an array of fundraising activities over the course of this year to bolster a cause that is very close to his heart.

The CEO of Cardiff-based company Paramount has been inspired to support the charity in memory of his much-loved and admired friend and colleague, Huw Mugridge who lost his battle against cancer in July 2022.
