INSPIRE'S GOLF DAY 2024

On Friday 28th June, we held our annual Golf Day fundraising event, raising an incredible £18,400!

Kindly sponsored by ESG Global, this fundraiser has become an exciting date in our diary. Fundraising events are a vital way to raise much needed income for us to continue to transform young lives… local business are a big part of enabling us to do what we do!

The day was filled with lots of laughs, high energy and surprisingly, we were blessed with a day without rain!

A huge well done to our winners:

1st Place: MHA Moore and Smalley

2nd Place: Turner Westwell

Longest Drive sponsored by Rowland Homes: Daniel Clutton

Nearest the Pin sponsored by ABS Commercial Solutions: Howard Hudson

And of course a big shout out to CG Professional for sponsoring Ball and Breakfast.

Fundraising was predominantly done through sponsorship and team sales, however thanks to some incredible donations we were able to maximise this on the day itself through a raffle and auction. A huge shout out and thank you to the businesses and individuals who donated to our auction…
