My mum used to run the farm with my dad before she died.

My sister works on the farm still, we all grew up there. My other sister still lives on the farm and so does my dad.

Hope that helps, we are a sheep, beef (store cattle) and poultry (layers) farm in Dolfor, near Newtown.

Farming sisters Jodie and Sophie Roberts, who both celebrated their weddings in 2023, have raised more than £12,500 for Lymphoma Action in memory of their mum, Heather Roberts, who died nine years ago from the cancer.

The newlywed sisters, from Dolfor, Newtown, held ticketed Sunday luncheons and promise auctions on the weekends of their weddings, making the most of the wedding marquees. Family, friends and local businesses donated prizes for the auction which helped to raise the total for the charities.

Bespoke oak carved clocks alongside luxury get-aways were just some of the items up for grabs at the auctions. Guests were entertained with games and music from a selection of ‘masked signers’ and later live performance from band ‘Anything Goes’.

Jodie, with new husband Daniel Hughes, raised £8,000 for Lymphoma Action from the charity event held the weekend of their wedding in July.

Younger sister Sophie, who married Tom Morris in September, raised £4,500 for Lymphoma Action and a further £4,500 for the British Heart Foundation. Both couples were amazed at the totals and grateful for generosity of others to support charities close to the families' hearts.

The fundraising for Lymphoma Action continues as Jodie embarks on the challenge of this year's London Marathon.
