​​Wartime ​high ​tea a success

A WARTIME-​THEMED ​high ​tea party to help people with dementia and Alzheimer’s was held in Llanelli’s Selwyn Samuel Centre last week.

The party, which will become a monthly event, saw residents from four care homes – Y Plas, Hafan Y Coed, Ashley Court and Y Bwthyn – in attendance, and the Lliedi Suite at the centre was packed to its 250 ​person ​capacity​.​

Visitors enjoyed a fantastic buffet with abundant tea and coffee, and staff got ​i​n on the fun, donning war-themed outfits.

The afternoon which was the first of its kind in the Selwyn Samuel Centre definitely catered to the older generation and the entertainment was first class.

​Female duo The Jazzabelles wowed the audience with wartime hits such as ‘​W​e’ll ​M​eet ​​​Again’ and ‘How ​Much ​I​s ​T​hat Doggy ​I​n the ​W​indow’.

The street party catered for all but especially for​ those living with​ Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Cream tea and unlimited food was at a cost of just £7.50 per person and was clear value for money.

Alison Davies, Sue John and Kian Disalvo were the event managers and they couldn’t do enough to keep their guests happy throughout the duration.

A spokesperson for the event said: “We feel that today went very well. We always try hard to aim to cater to everyone’s needs. Our buffets are made from scratch and the Selwyn Samuel Centre caters for all within the community. We take the utmost care in the running of our events and have different types of events for all walks of life.

“Our events can be ghost nights to cream teas all the way to tribute nights. Today’s wartime event has definitely been a more than colourful indoor street party and the WW2 theme has worked well with plenty of happy visitors from the local care homes who without a doubt have happily reminisced.

“Our rooms are always available for hire and the staff at the centre are first class. The next of our forthcoming events are to be held on November 7 and December 5. A warm welcome is extended to all.”
