Torfaen AM Lynne Neagle was on hand to officially open Ty-Siriol Hospital ward garden. The event follows a great deal of hard work from community volunteer Carol Wheeler who was backed by a project grant from our Communities Team to transform the outside space for patients on the dementia ward.
We are grateful to Tom Morris from Morris’s Of Usk, who reduced the invoice by several hundred pounds in order for the project to proceed. The Residents’ Panel also gave £60 for the volunteers to put some extra colourful plants in ahead of today’s official opening. Patients at the dementia ward are now able to go outside and enjoy the sights and smells of their new garden.
Lynne Neagle AM said: “This garden will be a fantastic addition to patients’ lives. As usual, Melin and the Residents’ Panel are at the heart of good things that are going on in the community.”
