I'm happy to be of help.

At the moment it's 6 degrees and clear but the forecast is for a cloudy saturday with a high of 7 and a 30% chance of afternoon showers.

The overnight low will drop to 2 degrees as the skies clear and sunday should be partly cloudy with a high of 7, and a bit brisk with winds from the south-southwest at up to 21kph.

This bit of news from Mold is not so good:

 

A sexual health clinic has shut due to “patient safety and staffing issues”.

The clinic on King Street, Mold, has been closed until further notice, health chiefs said.

The closest services are in Connah’s Quay and Wrexham.

Dr Olwen Williams, consultant in Genito-Urinary Medicine said: “Due to patient safety and staffing issues within the unit, it has been necessary to temporarily suspend the sexual health service provided in Mold.

“We wish to apologise to any patient who will be inconvenienced by these changes.

“During this time, patients will be able to access services in Connah’s Quay (drop in service) and additional appointments will be provided in Wrexham.”

Mold East Cllr Chris Bithell said he had not heard about the closure and wanted to get more information why it had shut.

The sexual health clinic offered testing for sexually transmitted infections, contraceptives including the morning after pill, condoms and pregnancy testing.

It also offered safer sex education, support/counselling and unplanned pregnancy counselling.

But this was better to hear:

 

An 18-year-old from Mold is heading to Africa next year to help communities struggling with HIV.

Nia Templeman has enlisted as a volunteer for charity, Tearfund, in an effort to combine her interest in health and charity to aid struggling Malawian families.

The former Ysgol Maes Garmon pupil will spend five months volunteering in Malawi as part of a GAP year before commencing her studies at the University of Bath where she will study Pharmacy next year.

Nia will be working on a range of projects including improving access to clean and portable water, improving hygiene and sanitation as well as educating people about HIV and AIDS and working with those affected by the disease.

She said: “Africa is very much on my heart as a continent that struggles with so much injustice, hunger and poverty.

“Also, the projects in Malawi focus a lot on the HIV epidemic, and I am very passionate about health and well-being and want to bring hope and education to these struggling communities.”
