A TEA Dance in Pwllheli has raised nearly £200.

The dance was held at Capel y Drindod Vestry on Monday, 12 March and was organised by Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board Dwyfor Dementia Services and sponsored by O Ddrws i Ddrws.

Live music was provided by Edwin and Mandy through the charity Music in Hospitals & Care.

The aim of the event was to raise awareness of dementia in the community and promote dementia supportive communities.

The event provided an opportunity for people to reminisce and have a purposeful activity.

Service users in day services were involved with making decorations.

Many of the service users from the community volunteered to set up the venue and help with making tea and coffee as well as washing up at the end.

Entry was free, tea and cake was £1 and there was a raffle, for which all prizes were kindly donated.

Approximately 50 individuals attended the event, including service users from both Hafan and Ala Road day services, service users in the community, members of Dementia­Go, a group from Canolfan y Gwystl, as well as the general public.

The dance raised £179 for the Hafan, Bryn Beryl League of Friends and the money raised will be used to hire a minibus so that services can organise day trips.
