Children and young people from Carmarthenshire Youth Support Service raised £630 for the Cilgerran Ward at Glangwili Hospital by selling handmade crafts and gifts at a festive charity event.
Many of the young people have links to the ward, or have had long or short term stays there, and wanted to give back to support other children.
An education officer for the service said the children wanted to 'raise funds to provide something really special and meaningful for the children's ward so that vulnerable children have better access to play opportunities on the ward.'
Claire Rumble, fundraising officer at Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: "We are incredibly grateful for every donation we receive, no matter how small or large.
