Ty Olwen

Thank you to all the staff and customers of the Range in Llansamlet for raising £448 during their recent fancy dress day in support of their groundsman and handyman Rob Jones a patient of Ty Olwen. Since the event Rob has sadly passed away and we send our sincere condolences to his family and colleagues.

Allison Banfield presented a cheque for £3,400 to Ty Olwen Health Care Workers Michelle Road and Deborah Strawford. Alison ran the London Marathon and raised a total of £5,400 of which £2,000 went to Help the Hospices and the balance to Ty Olwen. Also in the photograph is Allison’s mother, who sadly lost her husband in Ty Olwen six years ago and her sister Angela who said that they would never forget the kindness and support of all the staff. Margaret Bartlett thanked them on behalf of the team and also for Allison and Angela’s promise to continue their support for Ty Olwen.

Following on from a previous posting Margaret King of the Greyhound, Neath who organised the event has sent in some more photographs and a few words of thanks. Margaret said

“We held a charity darts event at the Greyhound in Neath to raise money for Ty Olwen in memory of my late sister Elizabeth Hopes. The care she received during her time was so kindly received and she passed away with dignity.
The winners were Ian Gill first place and Wolfe in second. Thanks to all who attended and contributed to a fantastic day . The prize money was kindly donated to Ty Olwen by Ian gill and Wolfe and a big thank you to them both.”

Thank you Margaret for organising the event and all your regulars who supported and made donations.
