Welsh language commissioner's charity of the year named
The announcement was made on Friday, August 8, at the Wrecsam National Eisteddfod.
Efa Gruffudd Jones, Welsh language commissioner, said: "We are delighted to announce that Cancer Research Wales is this year's Welsh language commissioner's charity of the year.
"The work they do makes a significant contribution to our understanding of this illness, an illness that affects all of us in one way or another."
The commissioner selects a charity each year through an internal staff vote.
The partnership aims to raise awareness of Cancer Research Wales' work while raising funds to support the charity.
Iwan Rhys Roberts, from Cancer Research Wales, said: "We are extremely grateful to have been chosen as Charity of the Year by the Welsh language commissioner's office.
"By 2030, it is estimated that one in two of the population in Wales will be affected by cancer."
