Paul Sartori Hospice at Home, the local charity providing services to support people living in the final stages of a life-limiting illness, has recently been successful in obtaining core funding. A grant of £2,000 awarded from the Hospital Saturday Fund will contribute towards the costs of delivering its services in Pembrokeshire.

The Hospital Saturday Fund provides assistance to mainly healthcare charities and has previously supported Paul Sartori in a project supporting good oral healthcare for end-of-life patients. This time the funding is to contribute towards the core running costs in providing much-needed care to support patients, families and carers.

According to the charity: “Funding of this nature ensures that Paul Sartori can support the community and continue to make a difference to local families. This is especially significant this year, during a time when all clinical services have been impacted by the pandemic and when funding streams have been curtailed.”

Judith Williams, grant development officer, said: “We are grateful to the Hospital Saturday Fund for this grant towards our running costs.This flexible funding enables the charity to direct the money to areas most in need. We acknowledge that the Hospital Saturday Fund have funded us twice in so many years and we thank them for their support in enabling our teams to deliver the care and support to end-of-life patients, their families and carers in Pembrokeshire.
