AMLWCH'S charity princess will celebrate the end of a successful first year later this month.

On July 26, Shelby Watson, 10, will take centre stage at the Dinorben Arms hotel as she is re-crowned and begins fundraising anew for groups within her community.

The youngster threw her support behind Clwb Y Gorlan following her coronation last July, and during the 12 months has managed to raise an incredible £6,500 for the home.

In the coming year, she will be working to support four causes, including the Amlwch Disco Dancers, the Young Firefighters, Amlwch FC juniors and Amlwch Scout and Guide hall.

Dad Russell Watson said: "The first thing I want to say is just how amazed I am at just how much has been raised - it's fantastic, we never dreamed of making this sort of money."

At the time of the coronation, Shelby, who suffers from cerebral palsy, may be undergoing serial casting treatment to stretch her muscles and tendons, but the brave youngster is determined that the treatment won't slow her down.

Russell added: "We're just waiting for a date for the casting at the moment; for what Shelby has to put up with in life, she amazes everyone with how well she does, and by keeping the smile on her face."

The evening, which begins at 8pm and is open to the public, will be marked by a number of raffle draws made through the support of local businesses, which will kick start Shelby's fundraising.

There will also be a buffet and Russell is hoping that the Celtic Cowboys will be providing entertainment.

He also paid tribute to the owners of the Dinorben Arms, Gary and Veronica Holdsworth, for their ongoing support.
