This year we were raising money for Swansea Mind - Thank you to everyone who donated on the night and to The Swansea Fringe for matching all donations to get us to £100 donation. 💫 🙌🎉

If you need their support please reach out, and if you don't need their support just now please continue to give them your support through donations if you can.

This time of year can be rough, but if you're feeling crap you're not alone. There are so many of us that find it tough. So reach out for support if you are finding it hard.

Wishing you Big Love and Good* Mental Health

The RTA's x 🤠

*(whatever 'good' means for you 🥰💜)
