Cancer sufferers and their families are set to benefit from 12 months of relaxation sessions following a donation from the Port of Milford Haven. Pembrokeshire Cancer Support was voted the Port’s Charitable Cause of the Year by its staff at the start of 2016.

The classes take place twice a week at the charity’s Support Centre in Pembroke Dock and give patients and their carers time away from their daily worries and help alleviate stress.

The centre offers a secure environment for group meetings and one-to-one contact where information and support can be given.

In addition to their base in Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire Cancer Support provides outreach services in Crymych, Fishguard, Narberth, Solva, Tenby and Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest.

Lyn Neville, charity co-ordinator, said: “As a small charity it’s good to know that the relaxation classes, which are very beneficial, are covered for the next 12 months. We’d like to thank the Port of Milford Haven for their kindness and generosity.”

HR director at the Port of Milford Haven, Vidette Swales, commented:“We are delighted to be able to support our Charitable Cause of the Year by funding these sessions. Pembrokeshire Cancer Support is helping cancer patients, along with their families and friends, through a range of techniques in a supportive environment and we’re looking forward to assisting them with more initiatives throughout the year.”

As a Trust Port, the Port of Milford Haven helps a wide spectrum of charities and organisations within the local community which seek to improve the economic and social lives and opportunities of those living in the Port region.
