MORE than 160 participants came together at South Pembrokeshire Golf Club in September as the Pembroke Power Station Charity Golf Day raised more than £6,000 for Sarcoma UK.

Organised by the Pembroke Power Station Golf Society, the event brought together employees, contractors, suppliers and local partners for a day of fundraising, friendly competition and community spirit, with all proceeds supporting the station's Charity of the Year.

Representatives from Sarcoma UK attended the event and shared stories about the impact of the charity's work.

Greis Kula, Partnerships & Events Manager at Sarcoma UK, said: “It was wonderful to join Pembroke Power Station for their golf day in aid of Sarcoma UK and meet supporters of our charity.

“Events like this are so important to us, not just for the funds raised but for the awareness they generate. Sarcoma is a rare cancer that many people have never heard of until they or someone they love is diagnosed. Every pound raised through events like this helps Sarcoma UK fund research into better treatments and earlier diagnosis, while ensuring those affected by sarcoma have access to the support and information they need.”

As part of RWE's UK generation fleet, Pembroke Power Station supports the delivery of more than 2GW of secure and reliable electricity while also encouraging employees to make a positive difference in the communities where they live and work.

The charity golf day is one of a number of initiatives through which colleagues raise funds and awareness for causes close to their hearts. Throughout the year, employees volunteer their time and raise funds for a range of charities through events, workplace initiatives and safety awareness activities.

Roland Long, Asset Manager at Pembroke Power Station, said: "It was wonderful to see so many people come together in support of such an important cause.”
