The Paul Sartori Foundation and Shalom House are delighted to announce the success of their recent 'Light up a Life' concert, held at the historic St Davids Cathedral.
This annual event, held on January 25 this year, is part of the national hospice initiative, brought the community together for a beautiful evening of reflection and remembrance, honouring loved ones who are no longer with us.
The event also raised a staggering £3,795 to share between these two important Pembrokeshire charities.
The concert featured captivating performances by the amazing female group, Bella Voce, the fantastic Paul Sartori Community Choir, the talented Cwm Cerwyn Ensemble, and clarinet soloist Julie Conybeare, accompanied by Margaret Blackledge. Attendees were treated to a diverse musical repertoire by candlelight, creating a serene, contemplative, and unforgettable atmosphere within the cathedral's hallowed walls.
The event was made possible through the generous support of local businesses, including Richard Brothers, A Way with Flowers, St Davids Bookshop, The Retreats Group, Topp Tyres, Chilton Cars, Nex Media, and Syncro Motor Factors.
Their contributions ensured the concert's success and underscored the community's commitment to supporting vital hospice care services in Pembrokeshire. Thanks, too, to the fantastic team at St Davids Cathedral. Rosalind Raymond, Trustee at The Paul Sartori Foundation and Sam Wilson-Croft, Business Manager at Shalom House, echoed their gratitude for the support of the community and local businesses on the night.
Both the Paul Sartori Foundation and Shalom House Palliative Care Centre are dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care to individuals and families across the county.
The funds raised from the 'Light up a Life' concert will directly support these essential services, enabling both organisations to continue their mission of delivering hospice care to those in need.
