Journalists’ Charity branch in Wales will hold a curry night at the Purple Poppadum on 12 November.
The event will be used to raise money and awareness for the charity but is deemed equally important for journalists to get together and socialise.

Organiser of the event Melanie Doel said, “The event will be good for journalists to have a nice meal and a great time.”
Money raised will go towards people who have nowhere left to turn, such as helping a former journalist pay for the funeral costs of her deceased son.
“Each year we spend around £400,000 helping around 200 people,” said Melanie.
The Journalists’ Charity will also use the curry night to discuss plans on next year’s Wales Media Awards after this year’s event raised £4,500.
