Hwyl a sbri yn y gem bel-droed gwisg ffansi! ⚽🏆 Fun at the fancy-dress football fundraiser! ⚽🏆

Thank you to Eric and Sharron for another fantastic fancy-dress staff football match, this year raising £800 for Enfys Ward at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd! The funds allowed Eric and Sharron to buy some brilliant items to help staff and patients at the ward including an ice dispenser, kitchen items and a DAB radio.

Eric said: "One of the best things about the event is seeing staff from so many different areas of BCUHB coming together outside of our usual working environments.

“It reminds us that, underneath our different roles and uniforms, we are all human."

With the event continuing to grow each year, plans are already underway for next year's match, with everyone across the Health Board welcome to get involved!

Diolch i Eric a Sharron am gynnal gêm bêl-droed i staff mewn gwisgoedd ffansi; eleni fe godwyd £800 ar gyfer Ward Enfys yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd! Defnyddiwyd yr a***n i brynu eitemau ychwanegol i gefnogi staff a chleifion ar y ward, gan gynnwys peiriant dosbarthu rhew, eitemau cegin a radio DAB.

Dywedodd Eric: "Un o'r pethau gorau am y digwyddiad yw gweld staff o gymaint o wahanol rannau o BCUHB yn dod at ei gilydd y tu allan i'n hamgylcheddau gwaith arferol.

"Mae'n ein hatgoffa, y tu hwnt i'n rolau a'n gwisgoedd gwaith gwahanol, ein bod ni i gyd yn bobol."

Mae’r digwyddiad yn parhau i dyfu bob blwyddyn gyda cynlluniau eisoes ar y gweill ar gyfer gêm y flwyddyn nesaf – ac mae croeso i bawb ar draws y Bwrdd Iechyd gymryd rhan!

John came back to visit the team at the North Wales Cancer Treatment Centre following his annual fundraiser, the Huff & Puff Charity Golf Tournament, bringing with him an amazing donation of £5000!

This year marks the 10-year anniversary since John was cared for on the ward following a bowel cancer diagnosis.

Eleni mae'n nodi 10 mlynedd ers i John dderbyn gofal ar y ward yn dilyn diagnosis o ganser y coluddyn.

Dywed John: "Mae llawer o'r a***n a godwyd wedi'i roi i Ysbyty Glan Clwyd fel arwydd o ddiolch am y gofal a gefais yn yr uned ganser dros ddeng mlynedd yn ôl."

Diolch yn fawr iawn, John, am eich cefnogaeth elusennol barhaus 👏💙

Er cof am Jasmine 🌸🦋💛 In memory of Jasmine 🌸🦋💛

Thank you to Danielle and her family who visited Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Children’s Ward recently with their kind donation of £200 towards the Children’s Outdoor Area refurbishment.

The donation is made in memory of Danielle’s daughter Jasmine, who was a patient on the ward and an avid fundraiser herself during her brave battle with a rare form of liver cancer. Jasmine sadly passed away this year at the age of 10, but her legacy lives on thanks to her mum and her family, who have continued fundraising in her memory.

In a post on their charity’s page, Jazzys Gestures , Danielle said: “Using donations made in memory of Jasmine, we’ve donated £200 to the outdoor play area fund for the children’s unit at YGC. The outdoor area will be so beneficial to any children admitted on to the ward.”

Thank you so much for this donation in memory of your wonderful little girl 💛

If you would like to support the Ward to be able to reopen their outdoor area for the children, please get in touch with us at Awyr Las - email [email protected]

Diolch i Danielle a’i theulu am ymweld a Ward y Plant yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd yn ddiweddar gyda rhodd hael o £200 tuag at adnewyddu ardal awyr agored y plant.

Gwnaethpwyd y rhodd er cof am Jasmine, merch Danielle, a oedd yn glaf ar yr adran. Roedd Jasmine ei hun yn frwdfrydig iawn wrth godi a***n, hyd yn oed yn ystod ei brwydr ddewr yn erbyn math prin o ganser y iau. Yn anffodus, bu farw Jasmine eleni yn 10 oed, ond mae ei hetifeddiaeth yn goroesi diolch i’w mam a’i theulu, sydd wedi parhau i godi a***n er cof amdani.

Mewn neges ar dudalen eu mudiad elusennol, ‘Jazzy’s Gestures’, dywedodd Danielle: “Gan ddefnyddio rhoddion a gafwyd er cof am Jasmine, rydym wedi cyfrannu £200 i’r gronfa ar gyfer ardal chwarae awyr agored uned y plant yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Bydd yr ardal awyr agored o fudd mawr i unrhyw blant sy’n cael eu derbyn i’r adran.”

Diolch yn fawr iawn am y rhodd hon er cof am eich annwyl ferch 💛

Os hoffech gefnogi’r Ward i ailagor yr ardal awyr agored i’r plant, cysylltwch ag Awyr Las – anfonwch e-bost at [email protected]

💙 Cofio Brenda 💙 Remembering Brenda 💙

Brenda never forgot the kindness, compassion and support she received towards the end of her life, and chose to leave a gift in her Will as a lasting thank you. Her family hope her story shines a light on the incredible care provided by NHS staff every day.

Brenda’s sister, Jeanne Walker, said: "Brenda was a very special person, always full of fun and had a real zest for life."

Thank you, Brenda. Your generosity and gratitude will continue to make a difference to patients and families for years to come. ✨
