Volunteer Counts Down to Christmas with Handmade Activities Advent Calendar for County Hospital Patients

Patients and staff on Hafan Deg Ward at County Hospital are in for a treat this December! Ffrind i Mi volunteer, Alan, has dedicated his time to put together a handmade advent calendar for them to countdown the days until Christmas.

The calendar features Alan’s handmade cards, with a festive trivia question or activity behind each window to encourage patients and staff to take part together. This is just one of many activities that Alan provides on Hafan Deg Ward.

He said:

"I know people really miss their Christmas traditions when they’re in hospital so it’s nice to be able to bring a bit of it here to them. This is what it’s all about really - interacting with patients.”

Behind door number one today - name all 9 reindeer!

Thank you so much to the wonderful Alan for this amazing creation - our patients will really benefit from these wonderful activities and interactions with each other.
