Just over a week now until the Teddy Bear Toddle on Llandudno Pier (Sunday 25th April). Please join us on this 5 mile (or 2.5 mile) sponsored walk for the whole family and Teddy. Participants must pre-register, and all children and their bears must be accompanied by an adult. In addition to a £3 registration fee (to cover administration costs) we are asking everyone to raise sponsorship. No minimum amount. The Pier is ideal for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and you don’t have to be a child, or bring a child, all we ask is that you unleash the child in you!
For your Teddy Toddle Information Pack please call Beth or Marie on 01492 873665 or follow the links to download your own!

The UK Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest mountains in England, Wales, and Scotland in 24 hours, and we are looking for a team to represent and raise money for St David’s. This challenge should not be underestimated and anyone undertaking it should be very fit and well aware of what lies in store! However, we know that many of you out there have the commitment and the ability to do this, and that is why we have teamed up with local company ‘Adventurous Ewe’ to organise our first ever St David’s Hospice UK 3 Peaks Challenge. This takes place between the 3rd – 5th Sept. For an information pack contact the fundraising dept on 01492 873665.
On Friday 30th April some very talented young people will be Taking the Stage at Venue Cymru to present an evening of dance and music.

In addition to the dazzling entertainment the audience will have the opportunity to win a host of fantastic prizes, all generously donated by local businesses in order to raise funds for St David's Hospice.
