First Five Sensory Blankets delivered

I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday at Ysbyty George Thomas where, together with representatives from Cafe 50 we were delivering our first batch of Sensory Blankets and some more Twiddlemuffs.  The hospital was having an open day for carers and patients to show off their Sensory Room and we have provided blankets to go in there.  The room is lovely, with coloured lights, comfy chairs, and an interactive memory wall and the staff have worked really hard and imaginatively to create a wonderful resource for working with people living with dementia. 

I was so pleased to join with our local councillor Marg Griffiths and Sheila from Cafe 50 to take the blankets in for use in the Sensory Room.   The ladies from Cafe 50 and our drop-ins have done a brilliant job with the blankets and continue to do so.   The Trust also has a dementia unit in Pontypridd so there is plenty of scope for more blankets.  I know there are already plans for an Autumn blanket and a golf one too.

If you would like to help with the blankets, give us a call or drop in to the shop or to Cafe 50 for more information.
