Paul Davies wears It Pink for Breast Cancer

SENEDD MEMBER Paul Davies has shown his support for those affected by breast cancer once again this year by dressing up in pink and encouraging his constituents to take part in ‘Wear it Pink’ day on Friday 18th October. It’s believed that around 2,700 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in Wales and yet only 7.3% of patients started their first definitive treatment within 62 days of first being suspected of breast cancer in Wales. Wear it Pink Day calls on supporters across the country to add a flash of pink to their wardrobe for the day and raise money for Breast Cancer Now’s life-saving work.
Mr Davies said, “I’ve always been a big supporter of the Wear it Pink campaign and I’ll continue to do everything I can to support Breast Cancer Now and create a better future for everyone affected by breast cancer. The quicker that breast cancer is diagnosed, the sooner that people can start treatment and get the support that they need.”
He added, “Breast Cancer Now’s Wear it Pink day is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK and I hope everyone in Pembrokeshire will join me by wearing it pink on Friday 18th October. It’s a great and fun way to show your support for Breast Cancer Now. Over £41million has already been raised over the years and every penny goes towards the Breast Cancer Now’s important work. So, raid your wardrobes, find something pink and show your support this Friday!”

Haverfordwest bank clerk accused of theft and fraud

A HAVERFORDWEST bank clerk has appeared in court accused of stealing a customer’s bank card and committing fraud by abuse of position.
Mary Roberts, 47, of Coronation Avenue, Haverfordwest, is charged with stealing a bank card belonging to Keith France on November 22, 2023.
She is also accused of dishonestly abusing her position while working as a bank clerk, intending to cause financial loss while in a role where she was expected to safeguard her customer’s interests.
Roberts appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (March 11), where she entered not guilty pleas to both charges.
Magistrates declined jurisdiction and sent the case to Swansea Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing next month.
The offences are alleged to be contrary to the Theft Act 1968 and the Fraud Act 2006. If convicted, Roberts faces a maximum penalty of 12 months’ imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
