Foodbowl is a charity tournament with the aim of raising funds to help various causes that our organisers are passionate about.
- November 2019 – Cardiff Foodbank £600 raised
- November 2023 – Newport Foodbank £825
- November 2024 – The Wallich Group £957.53
We have chosen to select War Child as our chosen charity this year. We have all seen the atrocities being committed around the world, and if we can provide a small amount to help ease their pain and suffering I would be greatly appreciative of your help.
At War Child, we will never give up on children affected by conflict.
War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades, we’ve been driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child living through war.
We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and support them long after the cameras have gone. We deliver life-changing services and support in communities affected by conflicts to keep children safe and help them to heal and learn for the chance of a better future.
