Recently, the sixth form students at Ysgol Greenhill in Tenby organised a fundraiser in memory of their science teacher. Mr John Swancott had taught science at Ysgol Greenhill for over 23 years, but he became unwell with Glioblastoma Brain Cancer and sadly passed away.
The students arranged a cake sale in the school for all the staff and fellow pupils. They chose to support Pembrokeshire’s only Hospice at Home charity, Paul Sartori. The local charity helped care for Mr Swancott and supported his family during his illness.
Toni Dorkings, Paul Sartori Community Fundraiser recently attended the school for a cheque presentation. The charity were extremely grateful to receive a fantastic amount of £650.00. This money will help to fund 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, physiotherapy, advance care planning and training.
“We are so grateful to all local event organisers, such as Ysgol Greenhill for supporting the charity. It is through the generosity of the local community that we are able to continue to provide end-of-life care to Pembrokeshire people.” Said Laura Hugman, Clinical Team Manager at Paul Sartori Foundation.
