Llanelli law firm DPA Law has presented a donation of £1,985.39 to the Peony Breast Care Unit at Prince Philip Hospital, helping to support specialist care for people undergoing diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. The contribution follows a year of fundraising by the firm’s staff, with generous support from its clients.
The money was raised through a programme of staff-led activities, including bake sales and Christmas jumper days, which brought colleagues together behind a cause that has touched many families across the local community. Clients also played an important part in the campaign by choosing to donate residual balances held on completed matters to DPA Law’s fundraising initiative.
Rachel Hughes, partner and solicitor at DPA Law, said: ‘We were delighted to visit the Peony Unit and see first-hand the life-changing impact that charitable donations can make. As a business, we are committed to supporting local causes—whether through fundraising or by using our voice to help raise awareness.’
Rachel Hughes added: ‘A huge heartfelt thank you goes to our clients, without their support making donations like this is not possible.’
The donation will help the Peony Breast Care Unit continue to provide specialist services for patients and families in Llanelli and the surrounding communities. Charitable contributions complement core funding by helping the unit invest in lifesaving diagnostic and treatment equipment, maintain patient facilities and enhance the support available throughout each person’s care.
During their visit, representatives from DPA Law met members of the team and learned more about the unit’s work. The presentation highlighted the value of partnerships between local organisations, healthcare teams and the wider community in supporting services close to home.
Staff at the Peony Breast Care Unit expressed their appreciation for the donation and the continued support shown by the local community:
‘Thank you so much for your generous donation to the Peony Breast Care Unit. Every charitable contribution makes a difference to the care and treatment of patients with breast cancer. Donations help us invest in advanced diagnostic equipment and maintain facilities that support the highest standards of patient care. We are truly grateful for the ongoing kindness and support by our local community.’
DPA Law thanked everyone who contributed to the fundraising total and said the firm hopes the donation will help the Peony Breast Care Unit continue making a meaningful difference to patients and their loved ones.
