Carly Hodson, a Penarth resident, is fundraising to provide Ipads and Tablets to residents at Parkside Care Home so that families can contact their loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic.

She is particularly keen to provide this service for residents with dementia who are struggling to understand why their family members are unable to visit.

The fundraiser is close to Carly Hodson's heart as her grandad lives at the home.

She said: ''This my grandad (pictured) who we call Ganky. He's 89, has dementia and is living in Parkside Residential Home in Penarth.

''This is such a difficult time for us all but I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it is for people with dementia being told every day that their families won't be able to visit them.

''The staff at Parkside do an amazing job to look after our loved ones and we cannot thank them enough.

''Technology has been vital to us all in recent weeks to enable us to keep in touch with our families so I have set up this page to raise money to purchase as many tablets/iPads as I can for all the residents at Parkside as I know how much of a difference it will make to them to be able to see the faces of their families smiling back at them.

''Thank you so much for any support you can give.''
