Bonnie Tyler with Margaret Bartlett, Dr Peter Griffiths and Paul Murray
Friday 24th May 2013 and Bonnie Tyler visited the newly refurbished Ty Olwen Hospice Shop in High St, Swansea to carry out the ‘Official Opening’. We were so grateful that she took time out of her busy schedule having just arrived back from Sweden, where she represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest, and flying off to Paris for her next concert.

The Staff of Wynford Thomas Funeral Directors of Ystalyfera have donated £425 to Ty Olwen, the result of a recent ‘Sponsored Climb’ of Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is the highest peak in South Wales and Southern England at a height of 886 metres (2,907 feet) above sea level. Funeral Director Alun Phillips said that they were ‘delighted to be able to help such a worthy cause’ and both Cherryl and Jan added they had ‘experienced the care given by the staff of Ty Olwen.’ They were joined on the walk by family and friends.
Hello, Tom here!
Swansea University – Keir Hardie office have helped me fundraise over the last few weeks, we have had two cake sales in the office, and the staff and my tutor Vivienne Rogers have been baking and selling the cakes on my behalf.
It’s been a great success and we have managed to raise a total of £262.62! Over 200 cakes were baked and sold!
Also, I have organised a charity event with a raffle, DJ etc and I am charging £2.50 a ticket. Expecting around 200 people. The poster is attached so you can see what’s going on! People have been unbelievably generous over the last few days and i’ve had celebrity backing from a few published authors in fact! The total is £961.08 at this moment so I’m really pleased with how things are going. Tom.
Well done to the Swansea Medical Society and the Staff of Swansea Medical School for raising £418 for Ty Olwen. Not content with this donation they also decided to collect toiletries for the inpatient unit.

Please show your support by making a donation – big or small! 95p out of every £1 goes directly into patient care and every donation will help us get through the miles!
I will be running with my sister in memory of our amazing Gramps who passed away a year ago. Please do also feel free to come along and support/have a laugh us – if he was here he would certainly be putting a wager on whether we could actually complete it!
Thanks in advance for your support!
Over £1200 raised so far!
