Swansea hotel croquet challenge raises valuable funds for Women’s Aid

A charity croquet day at The Gower Hotel and Dylan’s Restaurant in Bishopston raised £850 for Swansea Women’s Aid.

The proceeds from the croquet event, organised by the Gower Hotel in conjunction with Welsh PR company SJ&F Media, were handed over to Women’s Aid at the Mansion House in Swansea where the charity was celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Women’s Aid is a national charity for women and children working to end domestic abuse. They are a federation of more than 220 organisations providing more than 300 lifesaving services to women and children.

“We are delighted Gower Hotel chose us as their designated charity for this year,” said Swansea Women’s Aid Director Lynne Sanders. “Every contribution makes a difference to the women and children we strive to support. Contributions like this enable us to do work we would otherwise not to be able to do. “So it is a big thank you to the Gower Hotel and all those involved in the croquet day.”

Added Gower Hotel owner Lyn Waddington:

“We are delighted to have raised money for such a good cause and hope it helps Women’s Aid with their stretched funds. Hopefully it will help them in the vital work they do protecting women and children in Swansea.”
