Community Support Strengthens Healthcare Services

Angharad Davies, Office Manager at NFU Llandeilo, highlighted the growing importance of the unit’s services, particularly as cancer continues to impact families within the local community. “During our visit to the unit, we observed firsthand how charitable donations enhance the facilities available to patients undergoing treatment,” she stated.

Jessica Michael, Senior Sister at the Glangwili Chemotherapy Day Unit, expressed gratitude on behalf of the staff and patients. “I would like to thank NFU Llandeilo for supporting the unit, resulting in a very generous donation of £7,899. We are always looking for ways to improve the environment and the care we provide within the Chemotherapy Day Unit. Please be assured that this money will go towards these improvements. Diolch yn fawr,” Michael said.

Enhancing Patient Experience Through Charitable Contributions

The donation will play a crucial role in facilitating enhancements to the unit’s facilities, ensuring that patients have access to a supportive environment during their treatment.
