Local business networking group Business Builders Fareham Solent organised a charity golf day at Southwick Golf Club on Thursday 25th September. The day raised £500 for the group’s chosen charity Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation (DRWF) from Hayling Island.
The golfers enjoyed fabulous weather for their golf rounds followed by a meal and fundraising raffle in the clubhouse.
This popular networking group meets twice a month at the Holiday Inn in Fareham and sees a regular attendance of over 40 business leaders for the lively networking and guest speaker sessions.
Business Builders Fareham Solent is coordinated by Malcolm Archibald and Nigel Prior, Malcolm commented: “We were delighted by the numbers of golfers joining us as well as the other members of Business Builders and family members who came for the dinner. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we were very pleased with the amount we raised for DRWF.â€
Community Fundraiser at DRWF Claire Levy said:
“The charity is very grateful to Business Builders for the support they offer it, helping to spread the word about the research and education carried out by the charity at their regular networking meetings and for organising fundraising events such as the golf day. Diabetes touches the lives of so many people and the more we can do to educate people to understand the condition and make simple changes to their lifestyle the better.
We are also very grateful to all the local businesses that donated raffle prizes that helped to raise the £500.â€
