A HUGE THANK YOU you to everyone who supported the refreshment tent at the Botanical Gardens in Singleton Park. We raised the fantastic total of

We welcome two new Health Care Support Workers, Cerill Tudor, who has joined the day centre team and Sharon Richards who is based on the inpatient unit. We will soon be saying a sad farewell to Lisa Jones, who is leaving us for a post as a Macmillan Nurse.
It’s all change for Debra Dicks who is moving to the Hospital team and Mike Allen, who will be joining the community team.
On Sunday 22nd September, I will be taking part in this year’s Swansea 10k Run. I decided to take part in the event, firstly to get fit, but more importantly, to raise money for such a worthy cause – Ty Olwen.
The Tŷ Olwen Trust was formed in 1981 with the purpose of supporting the Tŷ Olwen Hospice, a specialist Palliative Care Unit within Morriston Hospital. Ty Olwen offer’s an exceptional high standard of care and support to cancer patients and their families during such a difficult time.
Back in June this year, My Wonderful Bampa, lost his fight to cancer. My family and I spent his last week in the Ty Olwen Hospice, where we were offered fantastic support during such a sad time. My Bampa meant so much to me and losing him has been very difficult for all of us. Therefore, I wanted to do something, in memory of him, to raise as much money as I can for the wonderful charity that gave him such tremendous care during his last few days.
I can’t bring back my Bampa, and I certainly can’t cure cancer, but I can try and raise as much money as I can to help support other families and cancer patients during these difficult times.
Thank you for your support, any donation, big or small would be appreciated.
