The atmosphere on the day was warm and welcoming and enjoyed by everyone.
YMCA Burton brought businesses together at their inaugural Charity Golf Day, recently held at Branston Golf & Country Club, to raise vital funds for the work they do.
On the day, golfers enjoyed breakfast before heading out for a round of golf, followed by a meal and awards, with prizes given to on-course challenge winners and to the first-place team, Cadent, and runner-up, PKF Smith Cooper.
During the presentation ceremony, Paula Senior, YMCA Burton Fundraising and Partnerships Manager, spoke to attendees about the current pressures within the charity sector and within the services we provide.
As we reflect on our first Charity Golf Day, we would like to thank everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success. It was a fantastic day bringing together golfers, supporters, businesses and members of the community at the Branston Golf & Country Club.
The event provided an invaluable opportunity for building and strengthening relationships, helping raise awareness and vital funds for the work we do at YMCA Burton.
We are incredibly grateful for the support and look forward to building on the success of this year’s event in the future, with 2027’s Golf Day already being booked!
Ian Blundell, Technical Engineer with Cadent Gas, and a member of the winning team, added that this was “a fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable day, with a great atmosphere from start to finish”.
The event was extremely well organised, and it was a privilege to support YMCA Burton and learn more about the amazing work they do within the community.
Chris Else, Partner Solicitor at Nelsons and long-time advocate of YMCA Burton, also said “I supported YMCA Burton for many years when I ran Else Solicitors in Burton upon Trent and continue to support now that I am working with Nelsons Solicitors, because I think it is wrong that anyone should be forced to sleep on the streets and become homeless”.
It is something that should not happen in a civilised society.
The atmosphere on the day was warm and welcoming and enjoyed by everyone, with Nik Hardy, CEO at Hardy Signs, commenting: “We had a fantastic day! Well done to all at YMCA Burton and Ady Wheatcroft for a well-organised fun day out at Branston Golf and Country Club and well done to all the golfers who helped make the day a success, raising much-needed funds for a very worthy cause. See you all at next year’s Golf Day!”
