24 Community NEYLAND LADIES CHOIR


was honoured to sing at an annual service for HOPE held earlier this month at St Clements Church, Neyland. As part of their performance,


Neyland Ladies Choir sang ‘What a Wonderful World’ and ‘You Light Up My Life’, both of which contained very suitable lyrics given HOPE’s work.


The Choir ended by singing ‘The


Lord Bless You and Keep You’. The service also saw Reverend


Alan Chadwick give an interesting address focusing on ‘angels’, given their biblical symbolism of ‘hope’. The church still had several angels on display following their theme of

Pets at Home festive appeal success A PET store in Haverfordwest


has raised over £1,700 as part of a Christmas appeal to help homeless pets.


Throughout December, staff at


(L-R): Lisa Wells; Laura Hugman, Clinical Team Manager for the Paul Sartori Foundation; and Mark Davies A LOCAL couple took to the


streets of Cardiff with thousands of runners to give something back to the Paul Sartori Foundation by participating in the Cardiff Half Marathon. Lisa Wells and partner Mark Davies, from Haverfordwest, completed the 13.1 mile route around Cardiff in October last year for the Paul Sartori Foundation. Lisa and Mark decided to run the


half marathon in memory of Lisa’s aunty, Kay, who sadly passed away on March 25, 2016. Lisa said: “The Paul Sartori Foundation helped care for my aunty in the later stages of her battle with cancer. They were very caring and supportive for my uncle during this difficult time. “After losing my mum when I was


just 18, I understood how difficult the circumstances were and I felt that the organisation couldn’t have done any more to help.” Lisa and Mark raised a wonderful £675 for the local charity. Sandra Dade, Charity Manager for


the Paul Sartori Foundation, said: “We are always very grateful to individuals for fundraising on our behalf and are grateful to Lisa and Mark for choosing to raise money for the Paul Sartori Foundation. Without such great fundraising efforts, we would not be able to provide support and advice to individuals at the end of their life.” Fundraising efforts, including


concerts and events, are crucial to the Paul Sartori Foundation, with the local community always coming up with


new ways of fundraising in memory of someone special. If you have an idea for a local fundraiser, but would like some help and advice, the Foundation urges you to contact Toni Dorkings, the Community Fundraiser, either via email at toni@paulsartori.org or by phoning 01437 763223. The services provided by the Paul


Sartori Foundation are free of charge, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and enable people who are living in the later stages of any life limiting illness to die at home if that is their wish, with dignity, independence, pain free and surrounded by those they hold most dear. For further information on the charity, please visit www.paulsartori.org or phone 01437 763223.


Pets at Home worked hard to collect donations to help provide meals for abandoned animals in and around Haverfordwest, as part of a Santa Paws initiative being run by charity Support Adoption For Pets. The Santa Paws appeal, now in its


sixth year, supports needy pets at local animal rescue centres during festive periods. Thanks to its generous customers


in Pembrokeshire who collectively donated £1,777.46, Pets at Home, Haverfordwest, successfully managed to provide a total of 3,569 meals to local animals. On a national basis, more than 430


Pets at Home stores took part, raising over £1 million and providing over two million meals.


Nearly half of this money, £470,000,


will be donated directly to 361 local rescue centres. The rest will fund Support Adoption For Pets’ extensive grant programme and other charitable activities with Pets at Home – all of which supports re-homing UK pets. Store Manager Phillip Evans said:


“What a fantastic result! We had so much fun raising money and are so grateful to all of our generous customers for taking part and donating much needed meals for disadvantaged animals. “It’s great to know that this money


will go towards helping some of these charities to keep abandoned pets healthy and happy until they find a forever home.” Since being established in 2006,


Support Adoption for Pets has helped more than 1,000 UK re–homing centres and animal welfare organisations by awarding grants and running fundraising campaigns with Pets at Home.


Heart charity calls on Narberth residents THE BRITISH HEART


FOUNDATION (BHF) has called on residents of Narberth to join its fight against heart disease. The BHF has asked that residents


join their local fundraising group and help raise money for lifesaving heart research. Around 375,000 people across


Wales this month are fighting a daily battle with heart and circulatory disease. This month, these conditions


will claim more than 750 lives in Wales alone. As one of the faces of BHF,


within local communities, volunteers would help fundraising groups with running events, support schools and local businesses, and organise collections. The charity has said that any time


offered to help will be invaluable, given that every pound raised from fundraising groups will help fund vital research and identify new


treatments that could help save lives. Jayne Lewis, BHF Fundraising


Manager for South-West Wales, said: “Heart disease is heartless. Too many lives are lost in Wales each year, and we’re determined to do everything we can to protect more families from this devastation. “By signing up to your local


fundraising group, you can help us fund research that’s so desperately needed to bring us closer to beating heart disease. Together we can save more lives. It’s also a fantastic way to meet new people and make a real difference in your community!” The past 50 years have seen death


rates from heart and circulatory disease halved – with BHF research playing a significant role in this statistic; however, BHF says there is still a long way to go. Through public generosity, BHF


has pledged to fund half-a-billion pounds of new research within five years.
