* The protective gloves donated by the Welsh Dee Trust. |
A number
of posts on Facebook yesterday showed how local people are helping to keep frontline workers and volunteers safe from infection during the Covid-19 crisis.
Typical
of them was Mike Connolly, a volunteer with the Llangollen Coronavirus Help Group, posted:
“Can we say a BIG THANK YOU to Welsh Dee Trust in The Malthouse Business
Centre, Llangollen for the kind and generous donation of 8 boxes of gloves
which we will make sure are used wisely. www.welshdeetrust.com

* The headbands made by Mary Gary Rogers. |
Mary Gary Rogers posted to say: “I have so far made 21 headbands. I need to put the buttons on them tomorrow, could any of the nurses that work in the Maelor that live in Llan mind taking them in for me, I can deliver to your doorstep.”
 |
* The Llangollen chemist heroes. |
Another Facebook member posted a short message of thanks to staff at Llangollen pharmacy together with a picture of them wearing their protective face visors.
It
said simply: “Llangollen chemist 💕 because they’re heroes.”

* The tribute to CAB teams from the Royal Family. |
Lesley Powell, chief
executive officer of Citizens Advice Denbighshire had a
message yesterday for all CAB teams in the county.
It said: “As we come to the end of another
busy week my thanks to you, your staff and all your volunteers for your hard
work - you really are all making such a positive difference to people’s lives.
“Yesterday we got a high profile mention from the
Royal Family. They posted on twitter and instagram about the great work we do.
It’s really nice to receive this public recognition and reflects the incredible
work that everyone is doing.”

* AVOW's message to volunteers in Llangollen Rural. |
Keith Sinclair posted
on Facebook yesterday some information which may be helpful to those living on
the outskirts of town.
It said: “Volunteers across Llangollen
Rural are doing a great job supporting friends, neighbours, relatives or,
indeed, anyone else needing support.
“It would be very helpful if we
could increase the number of local volunteers who are registered with AVOW.
This is particularly to assist our Community Agent who is using AVOW registered
volunteers to support those who are referred to him.”

* Help may be at hand for struggling small sports clubs. |
Help group volunteer Mike
Connolly also posted details yesterday of a
scheme which aims to help sport clubs are facing an immediate
threat to their existence due to coronavirus.
Sport
Wales and the Welsh Government have confirmed emergency funding of £400,000 for
not-for-profit community sport in Wales.
.
This is targeted at clubs who are already facing
significant challenges after a difficult few weeks and who are likely to
need immediate
financial support over the next 12 weeks (up to 30th June 2020) if
they are to remain an important part of their communities in the future. Each
eligible club will be able to apply for a maximum of £5,000.
