Over the last month or so, our main sponsors have been collecting donations from local businesses, while supporters have also been dropping off toys in our special collection box at Parc y Scarlets.

Gavin Griffiths Group not only delivered a skip full of toys for the children in Glangwili, but also gave Santa and his helper a lift to Carmarthen as well!

Scarlets Ryan Elias, Harri O’Connor, Dan Davis and Josh Morse were on hand to give out the pressies, including some Scarlets rugby balls and rucksacks.

Toys will also be delivered to the Hywel Dda Charities Wish Fund as part of our partnership with the charity which provides special experiences for children, including a visit to Parc y Scarlets to meet the full squad.

Scarlets released the following post on Facebook:

“It was a privilege to visit the patients, families, and wonderful staff on Cilgerran ward at Glangwili Hospital to deliver the toys that have been donated to the @gavin_griffiths_group Fill a Skip Campaign.

“A big thank you to @gavin_griffiths_group and @hywelddacharities The Wish Fund for making today possible, and to those who donated to the campaign.

“Thank you very much for letting us come and distribute the presents today. It was a great honor to spend time with the children. Merry Christmas.”
