Our last event

At Croeso Cynnes #2 on 28 April, nearly 40 of us enjoyed a hugely informative talk from Geraldean Swale on the uses of essential oils in the home. Her extensive knowledge and passion for aromatherapy as a complementary answer to common ailments and many household challenges was clear to see. From treating mosquito bites and deterring fleas to dealing with headaches and low moods, essential oils are derived from only naturally occurring products and can be a useful and aromatic addition to any home’s health and cleaning solutions. Having explored the huge range of scented oils available, guests had the opportunity to fill and seal their own wheat/rice bag to take home. Grateful thanks to Laugharne Craft Cafe crew for making the bags. It was a busy, interesting and productive afternoon for all.

What a fabulous community event we all enjoyed at Croeso Cynnes #1 on Friday 9 May. In just a short time, the hard-working Croeso Cynnes team and its ever-helpful supporters constructed an ‘indoor street party’ to mark the 80th year of VE Day celebrations. Fascinating readings, recitations and sharing from Maggie James once again helped kindle emotions and thoughts of the time. Add music singalongs, a fun quiz and a tasty ‘ration book style’ lunch and it is small wonder guests left with happy smiles. We’re proud to announce we raised £90 in a simple raffle for the Royal British Legion on the day.

Also on offer was a newly-established quarterly Advice and Wellbeing Drop-in session organised by Cysylltu Sir Gar Nacro Connecting Carmarthenshire and a few of the organisations they work with offering sound advice and useful information. Their next drop-in session will be in August. Once again, grateful thanks to the Croeso Cynnes crews and our loyal supporters helping us to tackle social isolation and loneliness in and around the area. Every little helps! 

Our team of volunteers both in the kitchen and socialising with guests is growing, but there is always a space for a warm smile and extra pair of hands if you are ever free to help. Contact Jo on 07803933981
