The charity golf day at Branshaw Golf Club.

Airedale Hospital & Community Charity held their first Charity Golf Day at Branshaw Golf Club earlier this month.

They raised £3,738 from donations from attendees and from the raffle.

The day was sponsored by Davric Construction Services and Service Electrical.

Raffle prizes were kindly donated to the charity by Timothy Taylors, Peonies, Keighley based Café Incontro, Drake and Macefield, Air Unlimited Burnley, Bistrot Pierre, The Little Theatre in Bingley and Off-Peak Luxury, to name a few.

David Hamer, Director of Davric Construction Projects said:

“I’m really pleased with how the charity’s first fundraising golf day went.

"It makes me very proud to have sponsored the event alongside Service Electrical. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout."

He added:

"Thank you to everyone who attended, together we raised a brilliant amount of money for a local cause that we all have come into contact with at some point in our lives.”

Jodie Hearnshaw, Charity Manager added:

“Our first golf day was a resounding success. Even the sunshine showed up to support us.

"I’d like to say a huge thank you to the Branshaw team for their support on the day, we couldn’t have done it without your help. We’re already planning our return next year.

She added:

“Congratulations to the winning team, “Team Oldfields” from Oldfield Electrical, we look forward to watching you try to hold onto that trophy.

"If you think you can beat them, get in touch to reserve your teams spot in 2025.”
