Llandudno Rotary – a great day out

Each year, Llandudno Rotary organizes a day out for any of the patients at St David’s Hospice that feel able to travel.

In early September 2017 eleven patients enjoyed a VIP trip to Bodnant Gardens. They were chauffeured by Rotarians and friends to the Gardens, managed an accompanied stroll round the gardens, with help from Hospice carers, followed by lunch at the Pavilion Restaurant The gardens were looking splendid, with just the first hint of autumn in the air – a fine, warm but slightly overcast day.

Another great day out delivered by Llandudno Rotary members and friends.

Confidentiality prevents us showing pictures of the patients themselves, but we hope these pictures convey the flavour of the event.
