Our prolific fundraiser Anna Gabrieli has shared with us the following inspiring message.
Thank you to my youngest Team members, Keera and Alesha for coming to my rescue by taking over making up my rainbow crystal bracelets.
What would I do without your help!!! 😁😁
These will be making their way up to Ty Olwen and the Cancer Units at Singleton, hopefully next week.
On behalf of Ty Olwen thank you girls you are helping to make a real difference for many people.
Gower Golf Club Seniors Section has raised over £2,000 for the Ty Olwen Trust which supports the work of the hospice at Morriston Hospital and it’s Specialist Palliative Care Team. During his Captain’s year Rob Samuel chose the Trust as his charity and was well supported in his fundraising by the Gower Golf Club, Professional Alun Lynch, members of the club along with the Seniors Section. Pictured receiving the cheque is Paul Murray along with Seniors Members, the Club Professional and ground staff.
Nice to welcome Jeff Harrison, Chairman of the Pheonix Choir of Wales along with MD John Mills and secretary Jan Mills when they presented a cheque for £150 to two of our new staff nurses Naomi Rees and Bethan Short along with stalwart Linda Poole. They collected the money whilst singing carols at Tesco, Fforestfach just before Christmas. This is the third year they have sung for us and have now raised £350. Thank you to the choir for singing and Tesco customers who donated.
When Tommy Chinn decided to raise money for a charity we were so lucky that he chose Ty Olwen and he did so in memory of the wife of a good friend of his who we had the privilege of caring for. He decided on an “Alcohol Free December” and today he visited Ty Olwen and presented to Staff Nurse Mel and Health Care Support Worker Paula an amazing £1,820 which with Gift Aid claimed should reach over £2,250. Thank you Tommy and all your sponsors and the support of Carvan Holiday Park and the Alpha Inn in Tavernspite, The Hall, Glyncorrwg and colleagues at Tregelles Court, Neath Abbey.
We wish you all a very Happy New Year.
