Children’s charity CHICKS held their annual charity golf day at Trethorne Golf Club, Launceston on Friday 19th June. A total of 30 teams enjoyed a full day of playing and hospitality at the picturesque Trethorne Golf Club. CHICKS is very grateful to the main sponsor Atkins Ferrie Wealth Management. The Atkins Ferrie team consisted of Win Freeman, Jeremy Davies, Terry Dangar and Dave Bragg. Staff members Andrew, John and Rob also attended and took the opportunity to network throughout the long day. CHICKS would like to say a big thank you to Andrew for being a fantastic auctioneer! Congratulations to winning team CHIPS Golf Society which is a Plymouth based society.
The Charity Golf Day raised £9,237 which will go towards funding the free respite breaks CHICKS provides for disadvantaged children at their retreats in Tywardreath and Brentor. CHICKS receives no government funding and relies solely on donations to provide free respite breaks for the increasing number of disadvantaged children from across the UK, including hundreds from many areas of Devon and Cornwall. The children CHICKS help include those in care or suffering severe poverty, child carers and victims of abuse. Events like the annual golf day play a huge part in funding the work that CHICKS carries out.
