Our last event

What a great session we had on 22 May, with line dancing led by Heather and Fiona. The steps were simple, the instructions clear, and there was plenty of time to practise. And for those who preferred to stay seated, there was still plenty of toe-tapping and clapping to join in the fun! If you'd like to do more line dancing, Heather runs a class most Wednesday evenings in Laugharne Memorial Hall from 7.15 to 8.15 pm – and at just £5 a session it's excellent value. Just bring a drink and your dancing shoes!

We would also like to thank Clive Roberts, who popped in to present a donation to Croeso Cynnes Laugharne. We were delighted to receive a cheque for £250, representing part of his payment for work clearing the Wales Coast Path on behalf of Laugharne Corporation and Carmarthenshire County Council.

At our first Croeso Cynnes session in June, we held a cake and bake tea party, together with a generous raffle, in support of Dementia UK. Dementia UK is the charity behind Admiral Nurses, who provide specialist emotional and practical support to people living with dementia and to the families and carers who support them. Their advice, understanding and face-to-face support can make an enormous difference at what is often one of the most challenging times for families.

We are proud to report that, thanks to everyone's generosity, we raised £400 on the day to support this vital work. Special thanks go to Martha for organising the raffle. Croeso Cynnes simply could not run without its wonderful team of ACE volunteers, working in the kitchen, front of house and behind the scenes. If you would like to lend a hand – in whatever way you can and whenever you are able – please do get in touch. New volunteers are always welcome.

Croeso Cynnes is also sustained by the generosity of individuals and public bodies, and we are delighted that Parc Cynog has awarded us a very generous grant of £2,000. This funding will cover our hall hire costs for the coming year, support our Christmas event, and enable us to invest in additional kitchen equipment.

Volunteers and supporters really do help make the world a better place. DIOLCH O GALON!
