Tony said: “The event gets a massive turnout every year and I’d like to send out thanks to everyone that’s donated prizes or shown their support towards the event.”

Leane and Claire are thrilled to be getting the support from the club and its members.

Leanne said: “It’s brilliant to be supported by the golf club for this event and hopefully we will make links with other businesses and community members who want to back what we’re doing.”

Claire added: “We’ll also have some of our young people who are SURT Steering Supporters there on the day, to help with the days events as well talking about how young people and their families are supported. Any money we receive from the charity event will be a huge help towards supporting those that access our service.”
