THROUGHOUT the month of May the members of Neyland Athletic Club came together as a community to raise vital funds for charities that their patrons have links and interests with.
They decided to take on the epic challenge of walking and running the entire length of the British coastline, a total of 11,073 miles.
The charities that they chose to support were The VC Gallery, DAPS – Domestic Abuse Pembrokeshire Support, Sandy Bear Bereavement Charity, Roko 20 Academy and Paul Sartori Hospice at Home. In total they raised a staggering £2102.00 for the worthy causes.
Between the months of March and May 2020 Paul Sartori Hospice at Home cared for 82 patients, loaned 175 items of equipment to 65 patients and carried out 2692 hours of care.
Paul Lister, Chair of Paul Sartori said “It is through the generosity of the Pembrokeshire people that we can continue to provide this much needed service for anyone in the later stages of any life limiting illness. The services are available free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home provides a range of services to Pembrokeshire people living in the final stages of a life-limiting illness, including home nursing care, equipment loan, complementary therapy, bereavement and counselling support, under 18’s anticipatory grief and bereavement support, physiotherapy, advance care planning and training.
The services provided by the Paul Sartori Hospice at Home enable people in the later stages of any life-limiting illness to be cared for and to die at home with dignity, independence, pain free and surrounded by those they hold most dear, if that is their wish.
All of the services are free of charge and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, thanks to the generosity of the Pembrokeshire Community.
