Tearfund accused of treating Wales ‘as a colony’

Hywel Meredydd Davies

Evangelical charity Tearfund is being urged to reconsider a decision to axe its final paid employee in Wales and oversee ministry there from London – prompting a former director to accuse it of treating the country like ‘a colony’.

This year, for the first time since 1987, the organisation won’t have a staff member promoting their mission in the nation. It is the fourth and final role to be cut from Tearfund Wales in the last three years.

Former director of Tearfund Wales, Hywel Meredydd Davies (pictured), who worked for the charity for 12 years, said he felt ‘disappointed’.
