On Thursday, April 21, Lyn Neville, who is charity co-ordinator of Pembrokeshire Cancer Support and works with Elly’s Ward 10 Flag Appeal, was proud to receive a Pembroke Town Council Civic Award ‘in recognition of achievements in promoting and fundraising for cancer services in Pembrokeshire.’

Lyn has also been a long-time campaigner for improved cancer services for Pembrokeshire.

He said: “It goes very nicely with the Pembroke Dock Town Council award I received in November 2014. Thank you to Pembroke town councillors and Clr. Jan Gigler who nominated me. It is a great feeling to feel appreciated for the efforts made to secure the best cancer services for the people of our wonderful county of Pembrokeshire and I will continue to do my best. Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me, and to my lovely sister who lost her battle with cancer, but who always encouraged me.”

Lyn also pointed out that on Sunday (May 1), there is an Elly’s Fun Day for Ward 10 at the Pembroke Dock Quins Rugby Club between 11 am and 3 pm. All are welcome to join in the fun, which will include face painting, body art, free running, golf, archery, target shooting, arts and crafts, balloon art, live music and entertainment and more! £5 admission for children age three to 16, but all activities and entertainment is included. A raffle and catering on site as well.

“We hope to see you there to help raise much-needed funds for Ward 10 at Withybsuh Hospital,” added Lyn.
