-This season of celebration

-A new campaign was launched

-to ensure a very Merry Christmas...

-..for older adult

-mental health patients.

-Today, we discuss

-the Give a Gift Appeal...

-..with Manon James and Guto Davies

-from the Hywel Dda Health Board.

-Tell us more about

-this special appeal.

-We're very excited about the appeal.

-The Give a Gift Appeal

-was set up to support the work...

-..of the team that helps older

-adult mental health patients...

-..in Carmarthenshire,

-Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

-The appeal encourages

-members of the public...

-..to look at our list

-on the Amazon website.

-You can buy gifts for the patients

-on the various mental health wards.

-The gifts will be distributed

-to patients.

-This applies to Carmarthenshire,

-Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

-A lot of people think

-about children at Christmas.

-Few people think about the elderly.

-We're glad to be part

-of this scheme.

-The mental health team has chosen

-the gifts that are on the list...

-..and all should be beneficial

-for the patients.

-People can see what is being bought.

-They can choose the items

-that they want to buy.

-We have our nurses

-and physiotherapists...

-..and they have helped us

-to make the list.

-Tell us about your patients.

-What are their needs

-from day to day?

-Most of the people on our wards

-have dementia.

-These are the people

-who will get these gifts.

-It's an important appeal.

-Nobody likes to spend Christmas

-in hospital.

-We want to bring some happiness

-to those patients...

-..who are in hospital.

-The list of gifts vary in price

-from 1 to 50.

-The gifts include arts and crafts,

-toys, games, books and much more.

-All these gifts will help

-the patients.

-The list is live online.

-We've already had a lot of gifts

-but there's still plenty to buy.

-This scheme started last year.

-Yes, that's right.

-It'll be great for the patients.

-These gifts remain on the ward

-for the year.

-The gifts will be distributed

-to patients...

-..in the Enlli Ward at

-Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth...

-..the Bryngolau Ward at Prince

-Philip Hospital in Llanelli...

-..and St Non's Ward at Withybush

-Hospital in Haverfordwest.

-I want to thank all the staff

-for their hard work...

-..and all they have done

-with this appeal.

-The appeal runs right up

-to Christmas.

-We appreciate every gift we receive.

-Good luck with the appeal.

-closes at the end of the month.

-in your garden, public park...

-..pavement or anywhere that you

-take your mobile phone or camera.

-Upload your photographs to our

-There aren't many baubles

-on this tree.

-The snowflake decoration is 12.50

-from Marks and Spencer.

-This wasn't designed

-to be a tree topper.

-We've used a cable tie

-to put it on the top.

-I wouldn't add a big decoration

-like this to a small tree.

-This is 12.50.

-You could have three of these

-on a large tree.

-Next, we have the traditional tree

-with red decorations.

-You could add some gold

-or green decorations to it.

-You want shiny decorations

-to reflect the lights.

-We love the letters.

-It's 5 for the red letters

-from Marks and Spencer.

-They need batteries.

-You can keep these year in year out.

-The sleigh is 2.50 from Wilko.

-This is very delicate.

-It should last for years.

-It's 1.50 for the red door

-decoration from Wilko.

-This is an old fashioned decoration.

-and team them with family ones.

-Canolfan Soar in Merthyr Tydfil...

-..is a centre that promotes

-the Welsh language in the area...

-..and offer opportunities for

-residents to socialize in Welsh.

-The Soar Chapel was renovated into

-the Welsh language centre in 2011.

-The organ at the heart of the chapel

-remains in the centre.

-Let's hear about a special event

-to raise funds to restore the organ.

-We opened our doors in 2011.

-Prior to that,

-the building was in bad shape...

-..and we raised 1.8 million

-to refurbish the buildings...

-..namely the vestry

-and the Soar chapel itself.

-Today, we have a comprehensive

-Welsh centre and community theatre.

-There's one important element

-left to restore - the organ.

-The next step is to launch a project

-to refurbish the historical organ.

-We want to focus on the project

-to restore the organ...

-..which is a part of a scheme that

-focuses on music in Merthyr Tydfil.

-Two years ago, we looked at the

-Merthyr Tydfil organist, E T Davies.

-People should realize

-that Merthyr Tydfil...

-..was an important place for music

-for decades and even centuries.

-This is a language

-and community development project.

-We'll discuss this

-with the community...

-..and they can play

-and use the organ at Theatr Soar.

-People want to remember

-Merthyr Tydfil's musical history...

-..that featured the Welsh language.

-During the first half

-of the 19th century...

-..Merthyr Tydfil was Wales' largest

-town due to the iron industry.

-It was a bustling town and

-the world's largest industrial town.

-When the organ was installed...

-..the chapels were very important to

-the musical life of Merthyr Tydfil.

-As the chapels closed, many of

-the organs have been sold and lost.

-The organ sits at the heart

-of Theatr Soar.

-We're going to guarantee a future

-for the organ and building.

-Refurbishing the organ

-means we can host many recitals...

-..that will enrich the town

-and country's culture.

-We hope people will come and listen

-to some of the organ recitals.

-Good luck to them

-with restoring that organ.

-We'll hear more about

-the Welsh Language Initiative...

-..in Rhondda Cynon Taf

-on tomorrow's programme.

-After the break, Alison Huw

-has advice on eating sensibly.

-We're going to save the calories.

-lose some weight before Christmas.

-until Christmas...

-..but you can stay healthy and lose

-a few pounds whilst having fun.

-Alison Huw is back with her advice.

-Welcome back.

-It's all about choice.

-I'm not a fan of crazes

-in the diet world.

-You can enjoy the plan without

-feeling that you're on a diet.

-It's difficult to hold back.

-We start with breakfast.

-It's very important to start

-and protein.

-Eat simple meals at night.

-Avoid eating carbohydrates

-after 6.00pm.

-You could have a chicken salad.

-Fish with stir-fried vegetables

-is excellent.

-These are simple choices.

-Simply swap your normal potato

-with a sweet potato.

-Make sure you eat before you go out.

-Eating before you go out helps to

-control the amount you eat...

-..when you do arrive at the party.

-Deep-fried canapes should be

-avoided.

-The more colourful canapes

-tend to be the healthier options.

-Carrots and hummus is a great snack.

-You can enjoy at night as long as

-you've been sensible during the day.

-A lot of restaurants

-hosting Christmas parties...

-..will ask you to pre-order

-your meals...

-..so there's no excuse for you

-not to choose a healthier option.

-There's no turning back

-on the night.

-Nuts are great.

-They are high in protein.

-I'll tell you more about nuts

-next week.

-Opt for nuts at a party

-as they absorb the alcohol.

-Drink a glass of water with

-each glass of alcohol.

-People forget about the calories in

-alcohol.

-There's 200 calories

-in a pint of beer.

-We always talk about

-all that we eat...

-..but forget about the alcohol.

-People rush around the shops.

-They often grab a sandwich.

-It's best to make

-your own sandwiches.

-They are less in fat.
