New Quality Time Taf QT Club launches

For the first time in the west Carmarthenshire area, there will be a meeting group for carers and their loved ones who are coping with dementia-related illnesses.
The Taf Quality Time Club, or The QT Club in short, has been set up to provide a meeting point for the carers and those for whom they care within a reasonable distance of their homes.
The first meeting of the new club takes place on Friday, October 4 at 2pm in the St Clears Boating Club clubhouse in St Clears, which is near the bridge on the road to Laugharne.
Club organiser, Reg Wyeth, who founded the club said “When families are coping with debilitating illnesses, it is especially important for the carers to be able to share information and learn from those who have greater experience. The QT Club will be a warm and friendly place for doing just that as well as somewhere for having some fun together.”
The launch of the QT Club will be the occasion for fun and games with a sing-along planned as well as a musical quiz and a free raffle. “All this along with tea / coffee / cakes and biscuits will ensure that everyone who comes along, including volunteers will have a fine ‘Quality Time’ together” continued Reg.
The QT Club will be meeting fortnightly and it is essential that both carers and their loved ones are present. There are no membership or attendance fees. The club is supported by private donations and voluntary help.
