Plas Hedd Residents benefiting from our Community Investment Fund

Plas Hedd were the successful applicants in this round of our Community Investment Fund. The fund is a chance for communal or voluntary groups to receive grant funding of up to a £1,000. The grant funding will hopefully improve our communities and the lives of our residents.

Plas Hedd is in the middle of Maesgeirchen, they can accommodate 28 residents and work closely with the local community. Local Councillor Nigel Pickavance applied on behalf of the home to receive funding to but more games and equipment for the residents. Many residents live with dementia, board games are a great way to keep the mind active.

Mari from our Community Team visited Plas Hedd recently and she said: “It was a pleasure visiting Plas Hedd to see the residents enjoying the games and equipment they bought with the funding from the Fund.

Local councillor Nigel Pickavance made an application to receive funding to buy games on behalf of the home. Many of the residents here are living with dementia, there are many benefits of playing board games when living with dementia.

Nigel said, “Theses games are going to make a huge difference to the lives of the residents here at Plas Hedd, the interactive cat is a big hit with everyone. Both staff and residents are going to benefit from all the games we’ve bought. Thanks you very much Adra.”

Recently local children have started visiting on the weekend to socialise and play games with the residents. Mari from our Community Team said “There is so much good work going on at Plas Hedd with every member off staff going the extra mile to ensure that it’s welcoming and homely.
