The Cwm Gwendraeth Christmas Tractor Run has raised £3,624 for Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital.
Nigel Davies and Anwen Davies, a father and daughter from Pontyberem, organised the Christmas tractor run which took place on 21st December 2024 in Pontyberem.
Anwen said: “We organised a Christmas tractor run where the tractors were decorated with Christmas lights and decorations. We also made a programme where local business supported us by putting adverts in.
“We wanted the local children experience something magical by seeing the tractors lit up in the night travelling through the villages within Cwm Gwendraeth with Santa passing their homes.
“We had a fantastic time. It was very rewarding seeing the children’s faces filled with excitement. We would like to thank all the marshals who gave up their time to help us, all the local businesses who supported by advertising in the programme, and everyone who came out to see us and lined the streets of Cwm Gwendraeth.”
Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “Thank you to Anwen, Nigel and all those involved in supporting the Cwm Gwendraeth Christmas Tractor Run.
“The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
Your donations are making a positive difference to the health, wellbeing and experience of NHS patients, service users and staff.
