Month: January 2025

Men United in Song has proved such a big hit nationwide that the popular pop-up singing project is being rolled out in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Launching in January 2025 and supporting Prostate Cymru, Men United in Song aims to give 40-plus local men the opportunity to get involved, try something new and give something back to the community… In a nutshell what does it offer?

• A ten week project starting on 28th January.
• A chance to learn to sing.
• No previous experience needed.
• Professional direction and support.
• Great social opportunities.
• A chance to sing in Llandaff Cathedral on 11th April.

Working over ten weeks towards a fantastic live charity event at Llandaff Cathedral on 11th April 2025, participants meet new people, challenge themselves, perform live on stage AND raise money for a much-loved and very important charity Prostate Cymru – what’s not to like?

No previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to step outside their comfort zone, get stuck in and give it a go… everyone’s in the same boat, and it’s all about the journey! Previous projects around the UK provided an overwhelmingly positive experience for the men who took part:

“A really great experience, at the start it was daunting, but we all came good!”

“A great bunch of men, and you got the best out of us… brilliant!”

The MUIS project is grateful for the financial assistance from Ty Cerdd, Vale

of Glamorgan Council and GVS third sector small grants scheme.

On a wet and windy day in November we set everything up for the Tucker’s Reindeer sale hoping that people would brave the weather and turn up.

As usual, our lovely community didn’t disappoint and came in droves. We had wonderful crafters and stall holders with us, and all made satisfying sales. Brenda and her friend played Christmas music on their accordions and the church hall was festooned with nostalgic Christmas decorations. Coffee, tea and cakes were consumed with lots of chat and laughter and reindeers sold like hot cakes. The total from the sale, and from kind donations since from people who could not be at the sale, now stands at over £1,500 for Wenvoe Wildlife Group.

We want to thank you all for your help and support. Whether you were manning the coffee and tea station, the cake stall, the raffle books or standing in the pouring rain selling reindeers. Whether you were one of our excellent crafters or stall holders, bought raffle tickets, donated raffle prizes or bought drinks and cake you all played a part.

We are always amazed at your kindness and once again there are just no words to adequately express the level of our gratitude. Happy New Year to you all.
