Isca Morris Tradition
Charitable Contacts

Every year in the run up to Christmas, the Isca Morris perform a traditional Gwent Mumming Play raising several hundred pounds in aid of a variety of charities.

Two examples of many are shown below:-

Isca Morris Presentation to Diabetes UK Charity

Presentation of the most recent money raised (£400) was made to the local representative of Diabetes UK, the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, funding research, campaigning and helping people live with the condition.  Further details of Diabetes UK can be found by visiting their website.

As another example, a couple of years ago for each of our performances the side was delighted to be associated with CLIC. After Christmas, a presentation to the charity of all the money raised, plus an additional donation from the side, took place in Newport.
