WALES’ only HIV/Aids respite centre is celebrating after receiving a £15,000 grant from the Assembly.
The money will be used to provide a gym, alternative therapy treatment area and shower facility which will be open to the local community as well as guests of Tyddyn Bach in Penmaenmawr.
The grant is being awarded by the Welsh Assembly’s Active Lifestyle Fund which is an initiative to help create new or improved physical activity opportunities through which mass participation can be achieved.
Centre manager Philip Kearton-Smith is eagerly anticipating the huge difference the money will make: “We are thrilled to receive this money and really pleased to be able to offer these new facilities to our guests as well as members of the local area.
“Being able to provide these extra amenities gives Tyddyn Bach a fantastic boost and guests are already eagerly anticipating the difference it will make to their stay. We are also looking forward to welcoming people from our community here too.”
