Tenant's Information & Stories
Every 3 months or so I put together some articles from tenants showing where they have been on holiday, who has celebrated birthdays etc.
Here are some stories from the S.T.A.R.T. (Staff Tenants and Relatives Together)

Wendy's Day Out
On Saturday 27th August I went to Cardiff with Lorraine and Marlene to see The Sound of Music at The Millennium Centre. When we arrived we found a pub so that we could have a meal before the show. As you can see we were lucky with the weather.
The Sound Of Music was a fabulous show which I enjoyed immensely. The singing and dancing was excellent and I had a great time shouting out and singing. I thought that the Mother Superior was brilliant and she sang beautifully. I bought a programme so that I could show everyone when I came home where I had been.
After the show we had a walk around Cardiff Bay as there were a lot of exhibitions and stalls to see and a lot of lovely smells from all different foods being cooked. We also went to have a look at the different boats in The Marina.
I had a really good day out and I enjoyed myself as you can see by my photos.

Canary Island Cruise
Elizabeth Brown from Ffrwd Vale went on a cruise in June to The Canary Islands accompanied by her sister. The weather was very hot, there was plenty to do and visited ports of call such as Madeira and Portugal.
Lakes and Trains
Philip Carsley from Ffrwd Vale went to Austria with his mum and staff member Gwyneth James. The trip was called Lakes and Trains.
Isle of Anglesey
Huw Gethin from Ffrwd Vale went to The isle of Anglesey with Janet McCreesh and Steve Goodwin in search of Royalty! They stayed in a lovely log cabin and toured the island and other places on interest around North Wales.
Thank you Ffrwd Vale for the holiday snaps.
Raising money for Ty Hafan and the Swansea Valley Miners Appeal
Bruce Owen from Orchard Street won a Bear called Sidney at a Marie Curie Tea Party and decided that he would like to raffle it and give the proceeds to Ty Hafan, a charity for handicapped children; so staff at Orchard Street decided to ask the Office staff to Raffle it for us.
On Friday 30th September the Office staff held a raffle, sold cakes and a Bonus Ball to raise money on Bruce’s behalf and for the Swansea Valley Miners Appeal Fund after the tragedy at the Gleision Mine.
Phil Williams from Network 2 was the lucky winner of Sidney the Teddy Bear and in total we raised £184.62 between the two charities.
Andrea Smith had the Bonus Ball number from that Saturday’s Lotto and won £10.00.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and took the time to take part.
Oakwood's Trip to Folly Farm
On the August Bank Holiday, Cath Rees, John Hayes and Sonia Lascelles from Oakwood took a day trip to Folly Farm. Whilst we were there we enjoyed looking at all the different farm animals as well as all the different zoo animals.
Their favourite animals there were the cute monkeys!
We enjoyed ice cream that was made on the farm as well as a big picnic that staff helped us get together.
We really enjoyed the vintage fair rides that were there.
The Service Users really enjoyed their day out and would love to go again!
Jamie Lee Locking, Bev Burder and Alex Hall accompanied the service users.
Pat Kennedy's contribution to the local hospital
Pat has been very busy over the last few months knitting squares for a blanket. Pat went out with staff to buy her own wool, choosing the colours herself. Pat spent most of her evenings busy knitting. Pat really enjoyed her new hobby and the blanket grew and grew and grew.
Pat was asked what she was going to do with her blanket and she said that she would like to give it to the poor or the elderly. Garngoch Hospital were contacted and asked if they would accept the gift. They were delighted and Pat visited them to hand over the blanket. Pat was thanked for thinking about the patients in the hospital and for being so kind.
Pat has also made a baby’s blanket for a member of her family. Pat continues knitting and has already started another blanket.
Pat’s amazing multi coloured blanket and Pat donating it to the staff nurse at Garngoch Hospital.

My day out at Brynmill Park with Karen, Stuart and staff. The best part of the day was when the birds landed on my hands to have some food
Portsmouth with Michael Thomas
Michael Thomas from Belgrave Road, Network 2 went away to Portsmouth at the beginning of October with Brian Churchill. Michael thoroughly enjoyed his 2 night stay at the Premier Inn on the sea front.
