A CHARITY concert aimed at improving access to the coast for disabled people is set to take place at Dale Seafront later this month.

The event, called Music for Changing Places, will be held on Saturday, June 27, and will raise money for a new toilet and changing facility designed to help disabled people enjoy time on the water and at the beach.

Organisers say the project will support greater accessibility in Dale, helping more people enjoy watersports and the coastline through specialist facilities and equipment.

The afternoon and evening event will feature a range of live music acts, with free admission for visitors, although donations will be welcomed to support the cause.

Music will begin at 2:30pm with performances from the Music for Fun group, followed by the Cleddau Flutes at 3:45pm.

At 5:00pm, the Malva Ukrainian band will take to the stage, before the day concludes with folk music from the Varifolkals folk band at 6:15pm.

The fundraiser is linked to the Dale Changing Places project, which aims to create a specialist accessible toilet and changing facility for disabled visitors, helping ensure more people can enjoy Pembrokeshire’s coastline regardless of mobility needs.

The project also supports accessible water activities, with adapted equipment helping disabled users get onto the water safely.

Organisers are encouraging residents and visitors to attend, enjoy an afternoon of music by the sea, and support a cause designed to make Dale more inclusive for everyone.

HUNDREDS of worshippers gathered at Pembroke Castle today for a major Christian event bringing churches together from across Pembrokeshire and beyond.

The Picnic, Prayer and Praise event took place on Sunday (Jun 14), with people invited to bring chairs, blankets and picnics for an afternoon of worship inside one of Wales’ most historic castles.

The event was led by Sound of Wales, alongside local churches, and also included Korean Christians from London who took part in their own distinctive style.

The programme began at 1:00pm, with free entry for worshippers between 12 noon and 5:00pm.

Organisers said the aim was to unite Christians in prayer for Pembrokeshire and Wales, while celebrating faith through music, worship and fellowship.

Castle Trustee Roger Baker previously described the gathering as “an extraordinary opportunity to unite Christians in one of the great castles of Wales.”

He said: “What a way to give Pembrokeshire a united voice of praise to our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The event has become a growing fixture in the Pembrokeshire Christian calendar, with previous gatherings attracting large crowds despite challenging weather.

Today’s event made full use of the castle’s dramatic setting, with worshippers gathering within the ancient walls for an afternoon of praise, reflection and community.

A YEAR 11 pupil at Milford Haven School has been praised after putting his first aid training into action to help an injured member of the public following an accident.

Aryan, who is currently working towards lifesaving qualifications, including first aid training, found himself faced with a real emergency when a woman suffered a head injury after a fall.

Rather than panic, the teenager stepped in immediately and calmly took control of the situation.

According to Milford Haven School, Aryan used a first aid kit to treat the injury, helped make the woman comfortable, and provided clear aftercare advice while remaining calm and compassionate throughout the incident.

School staff said his actions demonstrated maturity, confidence and professionalism beyond his years.

Applying first aid in a genuine emergency can be far more challenging than practising in a classroom setting, but Aryan rose to the occasion and put his training into practice when it mattered most.

Milford Haven School said it was “incredibly proud” of the Year 11 pupil, describing him as “a fantastic example of courage, responsibility and care for others.”

The school added that Aryan’s response showed the importance of young people learning practical lifesaving skills and highlighted the positive impact they can have within the community.

Da iawn, Aryan — a credit to Milford Haven School and the wider community.
