Cyfeillion Bronglais League of Friends donates £17,400 towards birthing pool and singing sessions

Cyfeillion Bronglais League of Friends has donated £17,400 to two services at Bronglais Hospital.

13,400 has been donated towards the cost of installing a fixed birthing pool at Gwenllian maternity ward. The pool will create a relaxing and soothing environment and promote positive birthing experiences for parents.

A further £4,000 has been donated to Enlli older adult mental health ward towards interactive singing and movement sessions. The sessions will reduce loneliness, boredom and isolation for patients as well as promoting cognitive stimulation and wellbeing.

Cyfeillion Bronglais League of Friends is a charity committed to raising funds to support Bronglais Hospital and local community health services.

Elinor Powell, Chairperson of Cyfeillion Bronglais League of Friends (CBLF), said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to contribute to these fabulous causes. It’s lovely for us to make donations which bring joy to people’s lives, none more so than birth and singing!

“We would like to say a huge thank you to our CBLF members and all those who have donated recently. Special thanks must go to the audience of Sgarmes’ Christmas Singalong in the Great Hall last December who raised almost £10,000 through ticket sales, a raffle and donations on the night. Tickets are already on sale for this December’s Singalong and as always, every penny raised will go to CBLF.”

Dawn Jones, Hospital Head of Nursing, said: “We want to say a sincere thank you to Cyfeillion Bronglais League of Friends for their generous donations and for their continued support for patients and staff.

“These donations will make a positive difference to the experience of families bringing new life into the world, and to some of our oldest and frailest patients who can benefit from the joy of music and movement.”
