Thousands of pounds raised in support of teacher who has leukaemia
South Wales Echo
|October 29, 2025
PUPILS, parents, and teachers from West Park Primary School in Porthcawl have raised an incredible £14,713 for Blood Cancer UK.
-
A sponsored walk was held in support of their much-loved teacher Richard Tunnadine, who is currently receiving treatment for leukaemia.
Blood cancer is the UK's fifth most common cancer and the third largest cancer killer, claiming more lives each year than breast or prostate cancer.
The funds were presented to Blood Cancer UK's Wales fundraising manager in a special cheque presentation ceremony at the school.
More than 430 pupils took part in a walk along the Porthcawl seafront earlier this month.

Labour voters are 'lending votes to Plaid', says ex MP
FORMER Labour MP Wayne David has written a blog suggesting there is only one reason Labour was trounced in Caerphilly during last week’s byelection. Mr David, who served as the Caerphilly MP from 2001 to 2024, said it’s “vitally important” to understand the context behind Labour's historic loss, claiming it can be boiled down to Labour voters “lending” their vote to Plaid Cymru in order to stop Reform UK winning seats in Wales.
