Once again Vic and Sheila Norman of Kingsmoor Close, Kilgetty worked very hard to put together their dazzling display of Christmas lights.

This is the 13th year they have created a seasonal spectacular for locals to visit throughout December, all to help raise vital funds for the end-of-life services in Pembrokeshire.

During these unprecedented times they still raised a fabulous £1101.50 for the local charity.

Vic and Sheila work extremely hard each year, the display usually takes around two months to assemble and they do this all in aid of Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.

This year local people continued to visit the Winter Wonderland display and they made generous donations via the trust box by the front gate even though Lockdown restrictions were in place.

In 2019 they raised a staggering £2202.47. Altogether they have raised over £12,000 for Pembrokeshire’s ONLY Hospice at Home charity.

Sandra Dade, Charity Manager said: “We are astounded by Vic and Sheila’s continued support, especially during these unusual times. Vic and Sheila’s lights provided a little Christmas tradition and familiarity for us.

“We are overwhelmed by the amount raised by the local community, especially during the lockdown and thank everyone for their contribution.”

The amount raised by Vic and Sheila during this festive season could cover the cost of four nights hands on nursing care for a patient at the end-of-life, or purchase 11 wheeled commodes that allow the patients to be wheeled to the bathroom which helps maintain their dignity, or it could purchase a pressure relieving mattress for use with one of Paul Sartori’s hospital profiling beds.

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, under 18’s anticipatory grief and bereavement support, physiotherapy, advance care planning and training.
