A remembrance charity day has raised an incredible £21,000 for good causes.

The successful day was organised in memory of Christine Bowen by her husband, Emyr, and was held at their Llandissilio Holiday Park.

Christine passed away last year and was a keen supporter of the Wales Air Ambulance. The charity was one of three causes that the event raised funds for. The other two causes to benefit from the remembrance charity day were Crymych Fire Station and for Glangwili Intensive Care Unit. They each received £7,000.

In Christine’s honour the holiday park residents, staff and guests came together to organise a fun filled day for the village and residents.

There was something for everyone to enjoy on the day including bouncy castles, cakes, sweets and book stalls, as well as food vans.

The funds were raised by donations on the day, as well as a successful raffle and auction. The auction alone raised £12,000.

Emyr said: “It was a really good day, everyone pulled together. It was so successful that people in the village have asked can we do another next year, which I’m hoping to do.

“I’d like to thank the community and residents on the park, we wouldn’t have been able to do it without you all. Every resident wanted to help with the charity day.

“If Christine was here, she wouldn’t have believed that so many people came out for her charity day.”

A grateful Mike May, Wales Air Ambulance’s Regional Fundraising Manager, said: “It was a lovely opportunity for the residents of the caravan park to get together and remember Christine.

“Thank you to everyone who played a part in organising this event or attending the event to help make it a huge success for the three important causes.”
