Taf Quality Time Club gets cash support from German school


Significant support for the Taf Quality Time Club (the QT Club), which provides a lively meeting point for families coping with dementia-related illnesses, has been received from pupils at Sparkasse Guterslohe school in Germany.
The cheque for £500 arrived during March to the great delight of QT Club members.
Club chairman, Reg Wyeth from St Clears, said “This is a tremendous boost to what the QT Club can do for its members. Our new venture is dependent on the support we receive and it is a very big thrill to have such a generous donation from youngsters so far away. After the cheering, our members were unanimous in sending their sincere thanks to the children for their kindness.”
The donation was arranged with the school by Trevor Stubbs who is based at Guterslohe in Germany and who has relatives and friends in St Clears.
The funding will been used directly to support the activities organised by the QT Club.
The QT Club meets on alternate Fridays at 2pm in the St Clears Boating Club.
It is a social club and although dementia-related information is available, the emphasis is on enjoyment and fun.
The next meeting of the QT Club is on Friday, March 28 when Lorraine King will be entertaining members.
Potential members can contact Reg Wyeth on 01994 231828.
