CARDIFF and Vale University Health Board have organised group activity sessions at University Hospital Llandough aimed at tackling loneliness and isolation in hospital.
There are two activity groups which patients, staff and the local community are welcome to join in with.
The ‘knit and natter’ group takes place every Monday between 2pm and 4pm in the information and support centre at University Hospital Llandough.
All wool and needles are supplied free of charge and patterns are available to follow.
The arts and crafts group takes place every Friday, 2pm-4pm in the patient experience and community engagement room, which is near the restaurant at University Hospital Llandough.
Arts and crafts items are supplied free of charge, and those attending the group can take part in colouring, painting, card making, knitting, crochet and jewellery making.
The arts and crafts group is supported by Macmillan Cancer Support.
Both groups are aimed at any age group and ability, and free tea and coffee is available.
Groups are open to patients, visitors and staff and members of the local community are also welcome to join.
