Section D Achievements and performance

‘Reconnecting Carmarthenshire’ held a candle making workshop at Links. The Links ‘Combined Forces Project’, a Saturday Veteran community breakfast club (NAAFI Morning) was set up. The club was set up as a direct reaction to feedback received from working veterans who were unable to attend our weekday events. I am delighted to report that the breakfast club has been a tremendous success with over 50 veterans attending each month Arts Care Gofal held a 6-week art workshop at Links. A different artist would attend each week, giving members the opportunity to be creative whilst trying varying art techniques. Some of the techniques used were graffiti, textiles, ceramics, and print. During February a six-week NHS wellbeing programme was held at Links. Due to the success of the first course, the course was extended so that other members could attend. Over the duration of both courses 12 members attended. At the start of March, ‘Slow Stich’ held a stich and sew workshop at Links. The workshop was popular with members, as they had the opportunity to show their own skills. Examples of items made were; hats, Easter bunny bags and peg bags. March Links held an exhibition at The Gate in St Clare’s. The exhibition was a great success. A trip was organised to the exhibition and afterwards the trip carried onto Laugharne. During March, a fundraising event was held on behalf of Links.
