Charity golf day raises nearly £3,500 for WESC Foundation

On Friday 10 May, 60 golfers met at Crediton Downes Golf Club to take part in WESC Foundation’s annual charity golf day.

15 teams from across the South West entered and raised a staggering £3,490 - the money raised will help provide the children and young people at WESC Foundation, all who have sight loss and complex needs, life-enhancing opportunities.

Caroline Burkie, Fundraising and PR Manager said “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Michelmores Solicitors, the main sponsor of our charity golf day and I would also like to thank Bovey Castle and Mercedes-Benz of Exeter for providing the top two raffle prizes.”

Tony Cockayne of Michelmores said: “We have sponsored WESC’s golf day for a number of years and I am proud that it is going from strength to strength. I would like to add my thanks to the teams who entered and also to those who went the extra mile and also sponsored holes - Citrus Digital, Thomas Westcott, Mike Hodge Associates and Old Mill Group.”

Teams taking part included Munchkins Day Nursery, Freshwater Beach Holiday Park, BCR Associates, Jones Lang La Salle and Francis Clarke.

With 83 points, Michelmores won the charity day followed closely by Santander with 82 points and last year’s winners Brewin Dolphin Exeter took third place with 81 points.
