INSPIRED by Team GB’s most successful Olympics for more than a century, Canolfan Plant Jig-So Children’s Centre held an Olympics-themed fancy dress fun day at Cardigan rugby club.

Mid and West AM Joyce Watson got into the Rio spirit as children and even some adults competed in races and games.

The free open day was a chance to showcase the wide range of services Jig-So offers.

The Labour AM, a long-time supporter of the charity, said: “I’d like to thank Jig-So’s fantastic staff and volunteers, and Cardigan RFC, for putting on a brilliant party. It really captured the feel-good factor we’ve all experienced watching the Games this summer.

“By the time I arrived more than 80 families were taking part. Looking after my own two grandchildren, I appreciate it can be difficult to find things to do for free in the summer holidays. So to put on a big event and free buffet lunch – it underlines how important Jig-So is to the community.”

Mrs Watson visited a further two youth centres on the day, Area 43 and RAY Ceredigion.
