Choir concert raises £1,200 for Paul Sartori Hospice
The event, organised by the Pembroke Dock Community Choir, took place on March 8 at Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock, and raised £1,234 for Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.
The evening featured performances from both the Pembroke Dock Community Choir and the Paul Sartori Community Choir.
The two choirs came together for a special joint rendition of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" as the finale.
The Pembrokeshire Lindy Hoppers also performed a dance routine.
Nigel Arthur, a member of the Pembroke Dock Community Choir, said: "We thought that maybe we would try and do a concert to raise funds for Paul Sartori.
"Being a 50–60 strong choir, quite a few members have had help for family members in the past from this charity.
"We raised an incredible amount, and we were very pleased.
"It was a thoroughly enjoyable night for us all and worth it in raising a great amount for this wonderful charity."
Jo Lutwyche, community relationship officer for Paul Sartori, said: "We are so grateful to the Pembroke Dock Community Choir for organising this very enjoyable night.
"The Pembrokeshire Lindy Hoppers as well as the Paul Sartori Community Choir added to the evening."
The Pembroke Dock Community Choir is open to new members and meets every Wednesday at 5.15pm during term time at Pembroke Dock Community School Hall.
The Paul Sartori Community Choir was established in April 2022 to bring people together after the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and to raise awareness and funds for the charity.
Now, three years on, the choir continues to support Paul Sartori Hospice at Home and other worthy causes, performing at joint community fundraising events across the county.
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home provides a range of services to Pembrokeshire people living in the final stages of a life-limiting illness and the Paul Sartori Community Choir extends the support to the wider community.
