Local golf club raises thousands for St Ann’s Hospice

Bramall Golf Club have raised over £13,000 for St Ann’s Hospice, continuing their long tradition of supporting the hospice.

The golf club were able to raise the funds through gaining sponsorship for an annual charity golf competition and by selling tee times, tickets and raffle tickets which go towards the total collection.

Member of Bramall Park Golf Club, Chris Fensom said that the golf club is able to raise money year on year due to the dedication from the community.

“Some people have been coming to the charity golfing day for years and years. It’s a really well supported occasion. The whole day is packed full of golfing fun, followed by an evening presentation where we host the raffle,” Chris said.

Chris said it was extra important this year that the golf club raised funds for St Ann’s due to the hospice’s ongoing Build it Together appeal.

The Build it Together appeal aims to raise £2m for the continued construction and delivery of a new hospice building in Heald Green. So far almost £1.5m has been raised.

Community Fundraiser for St Ann’s Hospice, Greg Kelly thanked Bramall Golf Club for their “thoughtful donation”.

“Bramall Park Golf Club have been supporting St Ann’s Hospice since 1990, they have raised a total of well over £250,000 for the hospice so far and this £13,000 will in no doubt be put to good use. We cannot thank them enough for their continued support and I look forward to hearing from them again in the future,” Greg said.
