Glangwili Hospital staff climb Snowdon for charity

Staff from Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital, Carmarthen, have climbed Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, for a charity close to their hearts.
Staff from the paediatric unit came up with the idea of the Snowdon Challenge to raise money for the ward through the University Health Board’s charity, Hywel Dda Health Charities.
The team set themselves a target of £3,500 to help buy new parent beds for overnight stays at the hospital. They are well on their way to reach their target having already raised over £3,200.
“Charitable donations help us to provide above and beyond what the NHS is able to offer,” said Senior Sister Janet Millward.
“I am extremely proud of what the team has achieved and for their dedication to provide parents with more comfortable surroundings on the ward.”
Staff Nurse Jayne Sherwin added “The team had a fantastic weekend in North Wales and thoroughly enjoyed the Snowdon climb. We are pleased to be able to give something back to the hospital and play a small part in making a parent’s stay a little easier on the ward. We are extremely grateful for all donations received to date and would love to be able to reach our target by the end of September”.
