Children on a ward in a Carmarthenshire hospital will be able to keep themselves occupied after new games were bought using public donations.

Thanks to public donations, more than £300 worth of equipment and games have now been supplied to Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital by Hywel Dda Health Charities - the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board.

The charity provided the Nintendo games from FIFA, Chocobo to Minecraft Dungeons, alongside other utilities such as TV brackets, universal remotes and Nintendo Switch cases.

Karen Thomas, head of therapeutic play, said: "We are so grateful that charitable funds have allowed us to purchase more items for Cilgerran Ward.

"The new items will help the therapeutic play team work more effectively and focus their time on the children and young people in our care."

She highlighted the importance of the games, saying: "Being able to play while in hospital means the children and young people can continue an aspect of their normal life."

Nicola Llewelyn, head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, said: "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."
