A fashion show organised by staff of a nursery has raised over £1,000 for Carmarthen’s Glangwili Hospital.

Bro Teifi Nursery raised £1,045 for Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili, through the fashion show which took place in The Porth Hotel, showcasing clothes from ‘Lan Lloft a Duet’, a women’s fashion boutique in Lampeter. They also raised £1,045 for the nursery.

Hannah Thomas, staff member from the nursery, said: “At the nursery, we look after young children, and we decided to raise funds for Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital as one never knows when you may need to use the local children’s ward.

“A week after the fashion show, my six-year-old broke his arm and needed an operation and he spent a night on Cilgerran. I was so grateful for the wonderful care and support they provided us as a family, which gave me reassurance during his treatment and stay on the ward.

“Thank you to the local community who purchased tickets and supported the evening. Also, to local businesses who donated raffle prizes and The Porth Hotel for the use of the room and nibbles on the night.”

Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are very grateful for every donation we receive.”
