Grace House hosts several events through the year, and one of these events, is the Annual Golf Day, which this year ran on Friday 17th June at Ramside Golf Club in Durham.

The golf day this year and last, was sponsored by WL Distillery, who produce locally produced artisan gin. Local businesses from the northeast all competed against each other and 16 teams took part on the day.

Well done to our overall winners on the day Greenarch Wealth Management, who took away the coveted Grace House trophy. The day fortunately proved to be a glorious, sunny day and a fantastic £10,906 was raised in funds which will make a huge difference to the families we support here at Grace House.

Corporate Fundraiser Laura Forbes commented “Thank you to all our Tee Sponsors who helped make the day a success and of course all our golfers who generously supported our Raffle and Auction. Thank you also to Gavin Forster Photography for capturing the day and to our volunteers from NRL recruitment agency, Richard Reed solicitors and CMYK printing solutions. Having the support of local businesses really embeds the valuable work we do within the local community and people can see that we make a huge difference to the families who utilise our services.”

Scott Wilson-Laing from WL Distillery commented:

“WL Distillery is delighted to be involved in Grace House’s annual golf day again this year. Having worked closely with the charity for many years we understand the important work they do and are honoured to be able to support them through events such as these.”
