On Saturday, September 5, 2026, members of the team will be climbing Pen y Fan in Bannau Brycheiniog.

Staff on the unit at the hospital in Haverfordwest said: “We have organised this event to raise funds that will go directly towards enhancing the ward environment for patients, including purchasing items such as TVs to enhance comfort and wellbeing during their stay.

“We’re hoping to raise £500.”

Katie Hancock, Fundraising Officer for Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “A huge thank you to the team on Ward 4 for embracing the challenge and choosing to raise funds for their ward. We hope you have a fantastic day and truly enjoy the experience.

“The generous charitable donations we receive do not replace NHS funding. Instead, they support additional items and activities outside core NHS expenditure. These small extras make a big difference, and we are so grateful for every donation we receive.”

Pen y Fan, standing at 886 meters (2,907 ft), is the highest peak in South Wales and southern Britain. Located in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, it is an iconic, highly accessible mountain famed for its sweeping panoramic views and manageable, family-friendly ridge trails.
