Fabulous makeover for Tenby Charity Dolls House

You may have noticed that the model inside the box has been missing over the winter. It has now been renovated and is back in its box, which has been repainted.

The Tenby Rotary Club were approached by Wendy Morse from Kilgetty & Begelly Craft Group last year, the group offered to renovate the Sunshine Home For The Blind model on the Esplanade in Tenby.

The model helped to raise funds for the blind babies who used to be housed there. Though the home no longer exists, the model has been kept so that it can help to raise funds for people affected by sight loss.

The Kilgetty Men’s shed began by helping to rub down the front of the two big houses. Wendy Morse, Chair Kilgetty & Begelly Craft Group, then painted the houses, created the window decorations, flowers in the window boxes and up the fronts, creating the park area, allotments and the duck pond area. Wendy’s husband Rob created the farm area, cut all the boards to put the different sections on, and helped with some of the painting.

Maggie Harris made a lovely job of the front gardens, her husband, one of the men’s shed, assisted by Lesley Jordan, Wendy and her husband Rob painted the display box.

On Friday, the work was completed; the house and boards were placed back in to the display box ready for the visitors coming to Pembrokeshire.

Helping to place the boards back in the box were Steve Atkins, Vanessa Atkins, Wendy Morse, Rob Morse, Richard Harris, Maggie Harris, Lesley Jordan, Simon Rowley and Tricia Morse (Wendy’s daughter).

All funds raised via donations to the model will go to help support people with sight loss. If you would like to donate you can put coins in the slots around the model; any denomination of coins is accepted.
