Thank you to the DVLA Tunes for Ty Olwen choir for visiting Morriston Hospital today raising money for Ty Olwen and for giving a private concert in the Ty Olwen gardens.

What a joy to see one of our patients in his bed out in the newly laid out gardens and they were looking magnificent today as the choir took a well earned lunch break before going back to work. Thanks so much to those who work  hard in the gardens and everyone at Ty Olwen who make it such a special place.
