Waterston, Milford Haven based Dragon LNG, a key supplier of energy in the UK providing up to 12% of its energy needs, proudly celebrates 15 years of safe and successful commercial operations this year. With a commitment to the local community, Dragon employs and supports numerous families within Pembrokeshire, and each year, its staff chooses a Pembrokeshire-registered charity to support as their Charity of the Year. This year, the Paul Sartori Foundation was selected in recognition of its vital services to the community.
In celebration of the 15-year milestone, Dragon’s shareholders Shell and VTTI have made a generous £15,000 donation to the Paul Sartori Foundation. This contribution underscores Dragon LNG’s dedication to supporting the community and reflects on the significant impact the company has made over the past 15 years in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and the wider UK.
VTTI and Shell remarked, “We are proud of the contributions that Dragon has made to Wales and the wider UK over the past 15 years. The dedication and hard work of Dragon’s employees ensure that the energy flows smoothly. We are delighted to support Paul Sartori, a cause chosen by our employees for 2024, and recognize its important role in the Pembrokeshire community.”
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home, a charitable organization committed to providing compassionate end-of-life care, expressed their deep appreciation for the generous donation by the shareholders, which will positively impact the lives of those in need. From nursing care and night respite to equipment hire, complementary therapy, and bereavement counselling, The Paul Sartori Foundation is committed to taking care of its community when they need it the most. This incredible donation not only reflects the hard work of Dragon LNG within the sector and the area over the last 15 years but is also a testament to the great things that can happen when big industry and the local community work together.
Charity Manager Sandra Dade was grateful to be invited to Dragon’s staff and community celebration event held in Waterston, where the MD of Dragon, Simon Ames, presented The Paul Sartori Foundation with the generous donation.
“It’s because of organisations like this that we’re able to provide crucial care services to those with life-limiting illnesses, or those at the end of life. The charity does rely on the support of its local community to ensure the future of the charity and so we’re extremely grateful that an organisation of this size recognised our hard work within Pembrokeshire”.
