High Legh Park Golf Day raises over £9,000 for children's healthcare

A huge thank you to High Legh Park Golf Club in Cheshire for hosting a Captains Charity Golf Day last week as part of their Charity of the Year support for MedEquip4Kids.

21 teams took part in the golf event. Afterwards they were joined by their families, friends and social members of the club to enjoy an evening of great food and fundraising.

Two auctions, a raffle and an envelope donation draw raised over £9,000 for MedEquip4Kids. The final total includes fees from challenge competitions during the golf day and a bake sale at the halfway house still to be confirmed. Thanks to all the local companies and club members who donated such fantastic prizes.

Two staff from Barclays also assisted on the night. Barclays have kindly agreed to match-fund contributions from their staff, which means another £1,000 goes towards funding vital hospital equipment to benefit local children.

“The switch adapted toys have been a wonderful addition to our school. Both staff and children were thrilled to have some new exciting resources. The children love the lights and movement many of these switch toys have and are highly motivated to explore and investigate how to make them work. They have been great for pupils to develop their understanding of cause and effect and we have also noticed improved concentration and engagement when using them. Often it can be difficult to find toys that are robust enough to withstand lots of heavy use AND be interesting and fun. These new resources tick all those boxes. They have made a noticeable impact on the children’s development in this area.”
