Charity golf day raises thousands for West Sussex veterans
More than £5,600 has been raised to support veterans living with disabilities after a charity golf day at a Angmering golf club.
The annual event, at Ham Manor Golf Club, brought golfers from across the region together for a day of competition on May 14.
Golfers from across West Sussex gathered to support Care for Veterans and its hospital home in Worthing.
Sponsored by Volker Highways and Broadleaf Tree Services, the fundraiser will support the Worthing-based charity's nursing, rehabilitation, respite and end-of-life care services for veterans and their families.
It helped to raise more than £5,600 for the Worthing Home.
Clare Silva, events & corporate manager for Care for Veterans said: “We are grateful to all teams, sponsors and prize donors who contributed to this year’s event and to Ham Manor Golf Club.
"The funds raised will help us continue delivering essential care and rehabilitation to the veterans who rely on our services.”
Care for Veterans, which merged with Royal Star & Garter last year, provides specialist care for people living with disabilities, including acquired brain injuries and degenerative neurological conditions.
Participants began the day with coffee and bacon rolls before taking to the historic Harry Colt-designed course. After completing 18 holes, golfers returned to the clubhouse for a two-course lunch.
A charity auction and raffle helped boost the fundraising total, with donated prizes generating additional support for the charity's clinical and rehabilitation services.
