The Paul Sartori Foundation, Pembrokeshire’s only Hospice at Home Service, is pleased to announce the relocation of its warehouse from Unit 79, Honeyborough Business Park, Neyland, to Snowdrop Lane Haverfordwest.

The Foundation will open its doors on Thursday, September 1, with an official opening planned for Thursday, September 17, to be attended by Clr. Tony Brinsden, chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, and Mayor of Haverfordwest.

The Paul Sartori Foundation, one of Pembrokeshire’s largest local independent charities, has 11 retail outlets, including the warehouse facility all of which financially support the valuable free of charge, 365 day a year Hospice at Home services.

The well-known Rickard family have run Cartletts from the site in Haverfordwest, until recently, and have leased the premises to the Foundation to allow the charity to support and expand the retail and warehouse facilities. This store is easily accessible with ample parking on the outskirts of Haverfordwest being a short drive from the main town.

“This new move is a great opportunity for us as we are struggling with space at our current premises at Honeyborough due generous furniture donations from the general public. We are fortunate to have secured such a property to give us plenty of room to stock furniture for customers; a good sized storage and distribution area will enhance our facilities as well as offering improved support to our shops and dedicated team of volunteers,” said Tim Davies, head of retail from the Paul Sartori Foundation, adding: “During the move, our Honeyborough warehouse will be closed to the public from Wednesday, August 24, until we re-open at Snowdrop Lane on Thursday, September 1.”

“We are supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers, who have been working tirelessly to open the store on time,” commented Jay Oatley, warehouse manager of the Sartori Home Furnishings and Warehouse, adding: “We are now making an appeal for volunteers in our new store and welcome enquiries.”

The Sartori Stores, aren’t just any old outlets, they are retail outlets where you can buy quality donated clothes, antiques, jewellery, vintage/retro items and furniture while supporting Pembrokeshire’s only Hospice at Home Care Service. Volunteer roles are varied and include customer service assistants and warehouse van drivers.

The Paul Sartori Foundation has several types of stores around Pembrokeshire that specialise in items of interest. The majority of stores sell quality furniture items, whilst nostalgia specialises in vintage, retro, furniture and clothes, with Sartori Style in Haverfordwest stocking designer clothes and bridal ware.

The Sartori Home Furnishings and Warehouse store is the main distribution centre and is vital in collecting and distributing thoughtful donations, sharing the stock amongst all of its stores throughout the county.

The services provided by the Paul Sartori Foundation are free of charge, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and enable people who are living in the later stages of life to die at home if that is their wish. With dignity, independence, pain free and surrounded by those they hold most dear.
