The Angmering-based club has handed over a cheque for 6,614.08 to Buddys, which is based in South Farm Road, Worthing.

Each year the Ham Manor Club captains agree on a charity that the club will support for the coming year. They wanted to support a charity that would benefit the local community, and Buddys, part of Worthing Mencap, was chosen.

The Golf Club raised the money through various activities during the year, including Captains' Days, social events and other activities.

Buddys offers a number of activities including a retirement club for the over 60's and work experience for younger people. The work experience offered has been very successful with a number of young people going on to find paid employment.

Buddies is open from Wednesday to Saturday from 10am-2pm.
