FUNDRAISING events are going on up and down Gwent today as part of Children in Need.
Across the UK adults and children are putting on fun events to raise money to help children all over the world - culminating in a mammoth live TV show.
And this year youngsters from Gwent will be taking part, with children from Pillgwenlly Primary School and Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni taking part in a special performance at Cardiff’s Broadcasting House.

Malpas
Malpas Spiritual Enlightenment Clinic will be hosting an event to raise money for the charity. Between 6.30pm and 9.45pm, you will be able to take part in a psychic supper. This event will give you the chance to have a one to one reading and a nice supper. This is a ticketed event and you will have to book ahead of turning up. Tickets are £12 and can be bought from Malpas Spiritual Enlightenment Centre.
Valleys Gymnastics
Valleys Gymnastics Academy are hosting a pyjama day to raise money for Children in Need. So, if your child is attending a class at the academy today, make sure they’re ready with their PJ’s over their leotards.
This is happening at all their venues.
They are also able to make donations and bring in cans of food for the foodbank – making it a double whammy of fundraising.
