Tŷ Hapus CIO Dementia Support

17/06/2026

Tŷ Hapus would like to say a HUGE thank you to Designer Sofas Direct.
Last Friday they donated and delivered a gorgeous new sofa to us, to help with our current refurbishment. It’s helping make our main room so much lighter and brighter.
It’s already been tried out by some of our guests and carers x

In the middle of the heatwave, at the end of May, the Musical Memories theme was ‘Songs from the shows Part 2’
Quite a few of our usual guests were too hot to leave the house . Those who were there said it was one of the best.
Thanks Chris for a fantastic compilation….. maybe we should just do it all over again 🥰

We’re going to really miss him and wish him a lovely retirement. He loves to travel so ‘Happy Retirement’ and ‘Happy travels’ from everyone at Ty Hapus, and Thank you for all your hard work and care x

We’ve been up to all sorts at Tŷ Hapus over the past few weeks.
With weekly themes like Eurovision, Transport and when it WAS sunny.. the seaside.
We’ve had quizzing and singing and enjoyed using our Plinko Quiz machine.
We’ve celebrated guests and carers birthdays and filled the building for Musical Memories.🎶
Sue Cummings our lovely volunteer has been planting up our pots outside…so colourful. 💐Thank you.

I can’t believe that it’s been a week since some of the Tŷ Hapus team attended the Turning Barry Blue Event at Barry Library.
We joined a variety of other organisations involved in Dementia Care and other related services.
It was lovely that some past and present carers popped by to see us.
We met Councillor Sian Thomas, the new Mayor of Barry and invited her to join us at Tŷ Hapus ☕️🍰
Being able to meet with the NHS professionals we often liaise with on the phone was so useful too.
Thank you 🙏 to everyone involved in organising this great event 💙

On Friday night our Tŷ Hapus volunteers Sue and Chris really shone. 😍😍
Sue Cummings organised a fabulous quiz night at the Barry Rugby Football Club
There was a raffle, Irish ☘️ bingo and hot dogs 🌭 at half time. She’d worked hard to organise it all and managed to source 20 raffle prizes!
Chris was the amazing quiz master. He’d put together some interesting questions even having a round on Greggs 🥟! He really made it fun even doing some musical solos!
It was so lovely to see some of our carers from the past and family and friends of Tŷ Hapus.
Thanks to everyone who attended and Ruth Burnett , Gemma and Gaynor for helping out with the hot dogs and raffle. 🥰

This weeks Musical Memories theme was ‘Songs from the shows’. We had a great sing along. So many of our guests and carers have been to see some of the shows so we had great discussions and learned a lot.

We’ve had some great responses to our Musical Memories themes recently.A Carole King special surprised us all with just how many songs we knew that she wrote, and were performed by others.
