The St Dogmaels annual sheepdog trials were held at Penwern Fields, Moylegrove Road on 19th August. This event has been running since 2005 and is affiliated to the South Wales Trials Association – which covers six South Wales Counties plus Gloucester and Gwent. The St Dogmaels sheepdog trials attracts competitors from all parts of Wales, plus many from France, Germany, Sweden, Italy and Australia.
This year the committee decided to donate current funds to local Charity; Paul Sartori Hospice at Home. A cheque presentation was held on 26th July at the Webley Hotel, Poppit Sands which Tim Davies from Paul Sartori attended. The St Dogmaels sheepdog trials donated a fantastic amount of £200.00.
Tim Davies, Head of Retail at Paul Sartori said “We are so grateful to all local events such as these sheepdog trials for supporting the charity. It is through the generosity of the local community that we are able to continue to provide end of life care to Pembrokeshire people.”
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, clinical nurse specialist in palliative care, 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.
