It has been the custom for Her Majesty's High Sheriff of Dyfed to bestow an honorary distinction upon individuals and organisations who have made a significant contribution to charity and voluntary work within the community.

​This year the Ty Cymorth Hospice Appeal has had the honour of being chosen as one of the organisations to receive such an award. The selection was made by the new High Sheriff, Professor Medwin Hughes, DL, FRSA, FLSW. The award will be presented on 19th October 2016 at the Halliwell Centre, University of Wales Trinity St David's Carmarthen campus.

All of the Carmarthen Career-ers succeeded to complete the 13 mile course. Quite an achievement, you'll agree. ​Well done all of you and big thanks from the Tŷ Cymorth Hospice Appeal for what you've done for us.

We are delighted to announce that the Co-op has chosen Ty Cymorth Hospice Appeal as one of the charities it will support in its Co-op Members Community Scheme.
