“I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who knows of any young people (younger than 19 years of age) from the Bay of Colwyn area who are able to demonstrate a high level of achievement in the arts, sport or education, to please get in touch with the town clerk in Colwyn Bay (01492 532248) to find out more about how the trust fund could help to support them.”
