Restoring a Georgian Landmark
Foley House has an extraordinary story to tell. Designed in 1791 by the great John Nash - later architect of Regent Street, Regent’s Park, Brighton Pavilion and parts of Buckingham Palace it stands as a proud reminder of Pembrokeshire’s rich and influential past. This was a place shaped by great minds, deep harbours, naval power, and legendary visitors such as Admiral Nelson and the captivating Emma Hamilton.
Our vision is to restore this grand Georgian house to its former glory, sensitively renovated in period style while fully adapted for modern needs. Lifts, excellent facilities, and calm, elegant resting spaces will ensure the building is welcoming and accessible for all, especially patients with limited mobility
Expanding Cancer Support Services
All current cancer support services will continue and expand, including dental services and treatments no longer available through the NHS. We aim to significantly grow our lymphoedema department, supporting the increasing number of patients affected after surgery.
Creativity and Community
Foley House will also become a vibrant hub for wellbeing and creativity - offering space for singing, seated and gentle exercise, meditation, yoga, and a wide range of art and craft activities.
Our much-loved Buckateers, patients and volunteers aged 70+ bring joy wherever they go. Their passion for fancy dress will be embraced, with period costumes animating the house, welcoming visitors to the tea rooms and retail spaces, and bringing Georgian charm vividly to life.
We also hope to invite young musicians to perform in the tea rooms, creating a truly Georgian atmosphere a delight for patients, a treat for the public, and a wonderful opportunity for emerging talent.
A Place of Hope
Above all, Foley House will be a place of hope, warmth and Distraction Therapy - something we have championed for nearly 20 years helping patients and carers alike find light, laughter and relief when they need it most.
How You Can Help
We are actively seeking funding partners, grants, and corporate sponsors to help complete the restoration and realise this ambitious vision. Every contribution - financial, professional, or voluntary - will bring us one step closer to reopening Foley House as a thriving centre of community and care.
