Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies has visited PATCH – Pembrokeshire Action to Combat Hardship, to help out and to witness their "Basics Bank". PATCH have set up a Basics Bank of non-perishable food, clothing and toiletries, from the donations that they receive, which makes it possible to provide for the needs of an individual or family in a crisis situation.

Following the visit to the organisation, Mr Davies was able to see the volunteers in action first-hand. He said, "I have been privileged to visit the PATCH head office in Milford Haven and meet the volunteers there. PATCH provides a valuable service to our community by providing food and clothing for families in need. They also launch a Christmas toy appeal every year to try to ensure that all children in Pembrokeshire, regardless of their background, enjoy the Christmas that they deserve."

"It is very pleasing to see this organisation continuing its good work. I would like to urge people in Pembrokeshire to get involved with PATCH by volunteering or donating food items and clothing.
