  • Annual Report 2019 – 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 – 2020 Introduction We have had such a busy year in Plant Dewi with so much change. The year began with a big refurbishment to the Plant Dewi Charity Shop – it was unfortunate that we had to close the shop, however, the space looks great now that the work has been completed. An exciting fun day was held in St Davids Cathedral back in September for families that attend Plant Dewi projects. 200 individuals from around the Diocese came together to enjoy arts and crafts, singing and dancing, drum playing and puppet shows. The event was supported by a host of partners including the Mothers’ Union, the Cathedral staff, Siani Sionc and Samba Dock to name a few. Sue Fletcher left her post as Manager and Catrin Evans took over in October 2019. The management team was then joined by Christina Jenkins, Family Support Manager who started in November to oversee the Plant Dewi projects and to manage the staff. We were successful in gaining support from a fundraising coach later on in the year, which has promoted us to develop a new Fundraising Strategy to move the organisation forward. At the beginning of March 2020, we brough 35 staff members and Plant Dewi trustees together for a team building day. We got down to business in the morning with a Safeguarding refresher session, an introduction to St David DCSR and enjoyed a wellbeing session in the afternoon, focusing on the NHS 5 Ways to Wellbeing. It was unfortunate that the projects had to close on the 19th March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................
