Celebrating 60 years

Throughout the year our residents have been getting together to help us celebrate our 60th anniversary. 

From Flint to Fishguard, Cardiff to Cardigan, many residents have taken advantage of our 60th birthday grant scheme and organised events. 

In Caerau, Ely, Cardiff, parents from the Unity community group brought all ages together at a party during the last week of the summer holidays. There was music, dancing, food and bingo.

Elsewhere in the city, older residents in retirement schemes enjoyed celebrations throughout the spring and summer. These included St Clements Court, Stephenson Court, Newlands Court, and Hope Court, where one resident ordered a special birthday cake, which was the party centrepiece. 

Royal harpist Mared Pugh Evans, official harpist to His Majesty the King, played for residents at Llain Las, Fishguard. The residents were in good company as Mared has performed at Highgrove House and the Senedd. After Mared’s performance, they celebrated with a buffet. 

Residents from the Meadows area of Brackla, Bridgend were out in force in the summer for a street party like no other.

The street outside the family centre in Brackla was the focus for fun with a bouncy castle, face painting and fun games including space hopper races. 

There was plenty of food too with a barbecue, hot dogs, candy floss, slush machines and an ice cream van. 

All ages, from babies in arms to older residents, joined in the party to celebrate our 60th anniversary.
