Pembrokeshire Lottery celebrates 20 years creating jobs

A lottery set up to help create jobs in Pembrokeshire is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Organisers say 1,600 new jobs have been created by the scheme which has provided interest-free loans to 330 local businesses.

The scheme is funded by more than 5,000 people who buy a £1 ticket each week in the hope of winning a £2,500 prize.

One local businessman said he was able to grow his business from just two workers to 180 with its support.
