THE Patient Participation Group (PPG) and staff of the Argyle Practice in Pembroke Dock recently held a cake sale at the surgery in aid of the charity MacMillan Cancer Support.
A variety of cakes and sponges made by staff, PPG members and patients went on sale at 10am and such was the rush to buy, the event that was scheduled to last all day closed down just after lunch because all the cakes had been sold.
The magnificent sum of £565 was raised from the cake sale and this was further boosted by a very generous donation of £500 making a grand total of £1,065 pounds for the charity.
Also on the day, the PPG committee invited MacMillan Cancer Support Information Officer Anthony Lorton and Grants Officer Owen Duggan to the surgery.
During the day they spoke to a number of patients and family members affected by cancer and were able to give advice on a number of cancer issues.
Chair of the PPG, Dennis Evans, thanked Practice Manager Juliet Goldsworthy for her help in organising the event and also thanked the staff and PPG members for making cakes and manning the stall throughout the day.
PPG member Jane McNaughton was unable to appear in the photo but gave valuable support on the day.
