NHS charity funds keepsake jewellery for grieving families

Thanks to donations, Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, has been able to fund keepsake jewellery for families that are supported by the Paediatric Palliative Care Service.

The bespoke jewellery has been funded through donations to the Wish Fund, a campaign which gives children and young people and their families supported by the Paediatric Palliative Care Service the opportunity to make magical moments which can be remembered forever.

The jewellery has fingerprints of loved ones embedded onto it.

Rachel Brown, Paediatric Palliative Care Play Specialist, said: “As a team, we are all incredibly grateful that donations to the Wish Fund have allowed us to purchase the memorabilia jewellery for the children, young people and their families supported by the campaign.

“The families supported by the Wish Fund will be able to treasure and create an enduring connection with the jewellery forever.”

Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “We’re very thankful for the donations the Wish Fund has received over the past two years that have enabled us to purchase such important items for the families supported by the Paediatric Palliative Care Service.

“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.”
