A CEREDIGION group has given funds raised from a special event to the local hospital’s chemotherapy unit.

Clwb Gwawr y Gwenoliaid held a quiz, canapes and cocktails night at Mydroilyn Hall, Llanarth, on February 17 and recently presented the £400 raised to the chemotherapy day unit at Bronglais Hospital.

Clwb Gwawr y Gwenoliaid is a branch of Merched y Wawr and based in the Mydroilyn, Llanarth area.

Club member Meinir Owens Jones said: “It was a fun evening at the hall, with some very interesting cuisine, a variety of canapes and four different cocktails.

“Several members of the branch have suffered from breast cancer, so we decided to support the chemotherapy unit at our local hospital.

“Several other Gwawr Clubs came to join us and a sum of £400 was raised 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 extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
