Local Hook residents, Tyron and Sarah Williams once again took months to plan, decorate and program over 9900 LED lights to create a wonderful Christmas display at their house. The display was open to the public to view from 1st December to 31st December 2022, and it proved extremely popular with people travelling from as far as Tenby, Saundersfoot and Fishguard.
This is the second year the couple have displayed the Christmas light shows to raise funds for local charities. In 2021, they chose to support PATCH (Pembrokeshire Action to Combat Hardship) who are a charitable organisation aiming to relieve the effects of poverty for individuals and families within the county of Pembrokeshire.
In 2022, they chose Paul Sartori Foundation as they had heard about the vital Hospice at Home services they offer within Pembrokeshire. They would like to support a different, local charity each year. Tyron recently visited Paul Sartori House in Winch Lane, Haverfordwest to present them with a cheque, totalling a fantastic amount of £1144.00.
Tyron said “It is a pleasure to be able to do something I thoroughly enjoy, whilst raising much needed funds for a local charity. I have heard a lot about the crucial services provided by the Paul Sartori Foundation and they are indispensable within our county.”
Sarah Hunter, Paul Sartori Registered Nurse said “It was a real pleasure to meet Tyron and hear about how he created the amazing Christmas light display. Paul Sartori are incredibly grateful, as ever, for the generous and ongoing support from the local community, allowing us to keep providing end-of-life care to Pembrokeshire people at home. It is always an honour when people like Tyron choose to donate to the charity, recognising the work that we are doing and allowing us to keep doing it.”
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.
Further information on the charity and its services can be obtained by visiting their website www.paulsartori.org, or by phoning 01437 763223.
