A CAFÉ which raises money for a well-known hospice is celebrating five years of working with students from Pembrokeshire college.

The Sartori Café, based on the top floor of Sartori Furnishings & Style Bridge Street Haverfordwest are in their fifth year of a rolling programme to get students into work and raising funds for Paul Sartori Hospice.

Marianne Wardley, Paul Sartori Café Advisor working for Pembrokeshire College, said: “Pembrokeshire College are proudly celebrating working alongside Paul Sartori for 5 years this year, and everything raised goes back to Paul Sartori and the students gain work experience and customer service skills.”

The Sartori Café gives 16 to 18-year-olds a chance to gain experience and skills in hospitality, catering and customer service.

Marianne added: “This is a great programme for this age group which gives individuals a sense of self-worth and belief.”

To get a place on the programme students must have received a referral from Careers Wales, with students required to contribute 21 hours per week, over 12 weeks.

The Sartori Café also hosts get-togethers for groups, including Knit & Natter held on Tuesday’s between 10am and 11am.
