Swansea Valley Miners Appeal Fund, Neath, Peter Hain MP for Neath

Oakham Mayor Cllr Joyce Lucas has been in touch with Mayor's office in Neath and Port Talbot Borough Council. To pass on a message of Condolence from all Members of Oakham Town Council and residents.

 

Cllr Lucas said "Last Sunday I was walking in Gnoll Park, Neath and have many connections in the area.

I have sent a message of condolence for the accident  involving the four miners at Gleision Mine from the Town Council and the town's people of Oakham to the Mayor. 

 

There are quite a few people living in our town with Welsh connections.

 

Oakham is also Twinned with Colwyn Bay North Wales"

 

Appeal from:

Peter Hain

MP for Neath

 

The deaths of four miners at the Gleision Colliery was the worst mining accident Wales has seen for generations.

This tragedy is a stab through the heart of the community. We can't even imagine what the families are going through.

But they need our help to survive and recover in the future. With the South Wales Branch of the National Union of Mineworks, I've launched an Appeal Fund to help support them and will be announcing other patrons shortly.

Please give what you can to support the families. Donate online now or send cheques to: Swansea Valley Miners Appeal Fund, 39 Windsor Road, Neath, SA11 1NB, United Kingdom.

Thank you.

Peter Hain

MP for Neath
