NINE-year-old Elly Neville, a Year 5 pupil at Pembroke Dock Community School and her Elly’s Ward 10 Flag Appeal went along on Monday 23 rd September to Puffin Ward (PACU) at Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest for an "Amazing" presentation. Earlier this year we, at Elly’s Ward 10 Appeal, wrote to Hasbro Gaming asking for support towards our fundraising. Hasbro very kindly offered Elly to donate toys and games to our local children’s services and with support from Hywel Dda Health Charities it happened – Hasbro have donated 174 games to be distributed across all Hywel Dda Health Board sites.
Sandra Jones, Play Service Manager said: “As Play Service Manager within the Women and Children's Directorate, I would like to thank Elly's Ward 10 Flag Appeal and Hasbro Gaming for the donation of games and toys. Children and young people visiting or admitted to
the Puffin Unit at Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen and Angharad Ward at Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth will benefit from such a very generous donation. The vast array of games and toys will also be shared with Speech and Language, Physiotherapists and many other Community staff within the Hywel Dda University Health Board. The donation will enable us to provide the extras that make a stay or visit to hospital a more positive patient experience and I would like to thank you once again for thinking of us.”
Elly said, "I am really happy that we have been able to help children. I love helping to raise money for Cancer Patients on Ward 10 but it is great to be able to help children who have to be in hospital when they are ill." Elly and her family are continuing to seek donations via their Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Ward10Flag and please give our Facebook page a like – just search – Ward 10 Flag.
