Cut and blow dry and a Welsh cake!

Clients at Salon Nia in Radyr take a break to enjoy a Welsh cake and a cuppa in support of the Bake for Bobath campaign to raise money for the charity.

Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales is encouraging people around Wales to Bake for Bobath and hold coffee mornings, cake sales at work or at school or Welsh cake competitions during the week of St David’s day, 1st to 8th March, to raise vital funds for the centre.

Salon owner, Celyn Hamlin saw a poster for the appeal in the shop next door to the Salon and decided to get involved. She says, “It’s a great way for our clients to celebrate St David’s Day while getting their hair done and raising money for a good cause at the same time.”

The Salon is going to be selling Welsh cakes all this week in support of Bake for Bobath.

Volunteer coordinator, Emma Bennetts says, “Bake for Bobath has really grown over the last two years raising over £13,000 last year. We are really hoping to make it the biggest Welsh cake bake for charity.

The event will help towards raising the £800,000 that Bobath needs each year.

Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales uses a unique transdisciplinary approach to therapy, combining physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy to help children with cerebral palsy explore their world, communicate their needs and reach their full potential.
