Charity lunch raises more than £1,400 for Paul Sartori
A charity lunch has raised more than £1,400 to support end-of-life care services. The event, held at The Old Point House in Angle, was organised in aid of the Paul Sartori Foundation, which provides hospice care to people in Pembrokeshire who wish to spend their final days at home. Guests enjoyed a meal and live music from Cwm Cerwyn Ensembles and the choir The Aftertones. Jonathan Williams, founder of The Old Point House and The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company, said: "We are delighted to have been able to host this event and raise funds for such a fantastic Pembrokeshire charity. "Supporting Paul Sartori for this event meant that we could involve the community in a positive way and give something valuable." The Paul Sartori Foundation offers nursing care, equipment loans, complementary therapies, and bereavement support for individuals in the later stages of life. Thanks to community support and events like the fundraising lunch, the charity can continue delivering its services. All profits from the event were donated to the foundation, totalling just over £1,400. Paul Sartori Hospice at Home relies heavily on community fundraising to sustain its operations. The charity also encourages others to consider organising fundraising events to help support its work across Pembrokeshire. Rosie-Faye Hart, community relationship officer at the Paul Sartori Foundation, can be contacted through the charity's head office for anyone interested in hosting future events. The foundation said the funds raised will make a 'meaningful contribution' to its ability to care for patients and families in their own homes. More information about the Paul Sartori Foundation, including how to donate or organise fundraising activities, is available on the charity's website or by calling 01437 763223.

Angle pub The Old Point House is our Pub of the Week
The Old Point House, in Angle, Pembrokeshire, is a historic establishment believed to have been frequented by pirates and smugglers, including the infamous pirate John Callis. It first appeared as a licensed ale house on an 1802 list, known then as The New Inn. Over the years, it has seen various landlords and name changes, eventually becoming The Old Point House. (Image: Supplied) The pub was not only a watering hole but also had attached land that was farmed by tenant landlords. The Old Point House has been an integral part of Angle village's history and community events over the years. It was the local haunt for the Angle Lifeboat crew since the lifeboat station opened in 1868, providing them with a cosy fire and warming drinks. The Morse family, who managed the inn for several years, were honoured by the RNLI in the 1950s for their services to the Angle lifeboat. The pub closed its doors in 2018 but is now looking forward to welcoming old and new clients. (Image: Supplied) The owners are keen to help customers make memories and become part of The Old Point House family. The pub is known for its intimate, unique, and historic restaurant rooms, offering a different dining experience focused on local produce, fish, seafood, and seaweed. The menu, developed by experienced head chef Charlie, is subject to change and available to view as a sample evening menu. The pub has around 40 covers inside, with ample space outside for the summer months. (Image: Supplied) Given the limited space inside, restaurant bookings are highly encouraged to avoid disappointment. The Old Point House also hosts various events and supper clubs, details of which can be found on their website. The pub's history is closely tied to the village's maritime past, with a 1917 story of Joseph Watkins, a local fisherman and WW1 seaman, who left an Irish penny on the old fireplace as a memento before perishing at sea. This penny remains a poignant reminder of the pub's rich history.
