ST DUNSTAN’S LLANDUDNO CENTRE BOOSTED BY £2.6 MILLION DONATION


St Dunstan’s, the national charity supporting blind ex-Service men and women, has received a generous donation of £2.6 million from The Royal British Legion, which will go towards a high dependency unit at its Llandudno Centre.

The specialist unit will be named the Poppy Wing, in recognition of The Royal British Legion’s generosity, and will enable St Dunstan’s to provide the highest quality services for beneficiaries with serious medical needs from Wales and the North West of England. Equipped with 11 high dependency beds, as well as a rehabilitation sports gym, arts and crafts room and training kitchen, the new facility will enable St Dunstan’s to help even more ex-Service men and women to discover a life beyond blindness.

The Royal British Legion, which celebrates its 90th Anniversary this year, has made the donation as part of its ongoing commitment to the welfare, interests and memory of the Armed Forces Family.

The creation of the Poppy Wing forms part of a wider renovation and expansion project which is currently underway at the site of the former North Wales Medical Centre. The new Centre will provide bespoke rehabilitation and training from St Dunstan’s highly trained staff, who will be recruited over the coming months ahead of the Centre’s opening later this year.
