OAP Welfare Committee Activities
The Committee continue to arrange social functions to the benefit of all over 60, resident in the village of Trelewis. They sell raffle tickets on a regular monthly basis with the help of extra volunteer ticket sellers. This enables them to keep in contact with those of the village & those who are housebound. At Christmas time gifts are distributed to the housebound & also to the residents of Glyn Bargoed Nursing Home. These gifts together with Coach Outings are partially funded by proceeds from the monthly raffle. The Committee also arrange Day Trips & Short Break Holidays with local Coach Company “Gibbons Coaches Bedlinog”
