Bags of good wishes delivered for Remembrance Day


* The Remembrance gift bags delivered across town.

Various organisations in Llangollen have  teamed up to provide and deliver Remembrance gift bags to deserving people across the town.  

The bags were put together by Kirsty Wild along with volunteers Stephanie Mitchell and Jen Davies from Llangollen Food Share.  

Town Hall facilitator Charlie Jones assisted in sourcing poppies to go with the bags.  

Cat Meade  from Wingetts plus volunteers Cath, Barrie and Karen distributed them to Llangollen's four care homes and to eight different sheltered/modified accommodation settings.  

Some of the bags are still available for people to collect for friends, neighbours and family members.  

Kirsty said: "Big thanks to Town Clerk Gareth Thomas for securing funding for the bags, Sharon Jones for the Welsh cakes and all the children of Ysgol Bryn Collen and Ysgol Y Gwernant for their fantastic poppy pictures.  

"Feedback in person and on Facebook has been fantastic, with several recipients reduced to tears." 


* Poppy messages which went inside the bags.

 


* Welsh cakes also went inside.
