£400 donated to the Special Care Baby Unit in Glangwili hospital

Shoppers and traders at Carmarthen market have donated £400 to the Special Care Baby Unit in Glangwili hospital.
Each year the market’s traders committee picks a local charity to support throughout the year.
The money donated is made up from the percentage of the takings received to the committee from the market’s photobooth and children’s ride as well as donations made by shoppers to the wishing well in the foyer.
Chairman of the traders committee, Doug Ashton, said: “Just by using the photobooth in the market or by making a donation in our wishing well, shoppers are helping local charities, such as the SCBU unit in Glangwili. We would like to thank all those who supported and helped us pass on this money to a good cause. We shall be continuing to raise money for another local good cause this year.”
The money raised will go towards purchasing a sofa bed for the newly re-decorated parent’s sitting room in the unit.
Julie Young, Neonatal Unit Manager at the Special Care Baby Unit in Glangwili hospital, added: “We are really grateful and would like to thank the shoppers and traders at Carmarthen market for this donation.”
