Ty Golau update Due to the coronaviru­s, Ty Golau sessions have naturally been put on hold. Manager Janet Lewis is at present unsure when sessions resume but will update and advise when it will be safe to do so. Kidwelly & Mynydd-y-garreg Community Action Response: Covid-19 We are a group of volunteers that are here to offer support and help during this coronaviru­s health crisis for the people of Kidwelly and Mynydd-yGarreg. At present we can offer support through the internet or if you prefer on the telephone to alleviate loneliness and worry should you need to self-isolate. Also at present, we can offer a door drop-off service for provisions should you run out. We are aware that many groups, organisati­ons and events have been stopped or cancelled, particular­ly for older people. We are here should you feel worried or lonely. This is going to take a collective effort and it starts here. Please contact 07789 969893, 07789 510222 or 07552 204424 or email kidwellymy­nyddcommun­ity@outlook.com
