​​Christmas Fundraising Fayre at Clos Llanfihangel

A RECENT fundraising fayre at a Dafen care home raised several hundred pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Clos Llangfihangel provides sheltered housing, retirement housing and supported housing for older individuals and the fundraiser was well-attended.

Music was provided by ‘The Voices Choir’ which are led by conductor Nerissa Faulkner, and the Carmarthen Ukuleles. Both entertainment acts proved popular as they sang festive covers along with more upbeat tracks.

The Voices sang a heartfelt version of ‘How ​Long Will I Love You’ which was greatly appreciated by residents. The Ukulele Club had many singing along with ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’ and ‘My Old Man’ among more old school tracks. There was plenty of Christmas cheer as everyone enjoyed hot beverages along with cakes and many contributed to the raffle and Christmas stalls.

The event was attended by Llanelli Mayor Cllr Jeff Edmunds, Deputy Mayeorss Louvain Roberts, Chair of Llanelli Rural Council John Evans and his consort, and they were in good voice, joining in with the carol-singing.

Leader of Llanelli Rural Council Cllr Tegwen Devichand was also full of smiles and appreciated the effort that went into organising the event. Lillian​,​ who’s 97 and one of the oldest care home residents​,​ thoroughly enjoyed the event and was happy to have her photograph taken for The Herald.

A spokesperson at the event thanked ‘The Voices’ and ‘Carmarthen Ukuleles’.

“We’re proud to have them with us. Thank you to all who’ve contributed,” they added. “All of the proceeds from today will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. I’d like to thank the Mayor and his dignitaries plus members of The Rural Council for supporting us, their attendance and of course the visitors and residents mean a lot​.”

Llanelli Town Mayor Cllr Jeff Edmunds said: “Today has most definitely got me into the Christmas spirit and the event has been well attended. Anything that brings people together to support the community as well as charity can only be a good thing. We’ve certainly all enjoyed singing today and have received wonderful hospitality, I’m thankful​.​”
