A trio of Pembrokeshire volunteers enjoyed meeting His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales today.
Prince Charles met a group of volunteers from across Wales in Llandovery, where he enjoyed a special showcase of work undertaken by his charity, Prime Cymru.
This included work by Prime Cymru’s Rural Challenge schemes in Pembrokeshire, which support older people into volunteering.
The three Pembrokeshire volunteers who got the royal seal of approval were Yvonne Earl from Pembroke Dock, Anne Elms from Tenby and Pat Smith from Monkton.
Yvonne, aged 64, supports many projects in Pembroke Dock and also spends her free time working with craft groups, which make items to raise money for worthy causes.
Anne volunteers for several projects in Tenby and supports Prime Cymru’s Friendship club for older people in the town.
Pat registered for volunteering work through Prime Cymru last summer, having just recovered from cancer treatment.
Since then the 62-year-old has used her free time to support various projects, including a day centre service for adults with learning difficulties, a scheme supporting school children and a fundraising craft group.
