Annual golf day raises £4,383 for Airedale Hospital

The organisers and sponsors at the charity golf day.

A charity golf day has raised more than £4,300 to support patients, families and staff at Airedale.

Airedale Hospital and Community Charity's annual Golf Day raised £4,383 after bringing together local businesses, supporters and golfers earlier this month.

The event was held at Branshaw Golf Club in Oakworth on Friday 11th September, with money raised through entries, donations and a raffle supported by local businesses.

Funds will be used by the charity to provide projects, equipment and improvements which go above and beyond NHS funding across Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.

Carla Weatherall, Charity Fundraiser, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to have raised £4,383 from this year's Golf Day.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took part, sponsored the event, donated prizes or volunteered their time.

“Every pound raised will help us continue to make a difference for patients, their families and our staff across Airedale.”

The event was sponsored by Davric Construction Projects and Service Electrical (Bradford), which have both supported the Golf Day for the past three years.

David Hamer, Director of Davric Construction Projects, said:

“We're delighted to support Airedale Hospital and Community Charity's Golf Day for a third year.

“It's a fantastic event that brings local businesses together while raising money for a cause that makes a real difference in our community.

“It was great to see so many teams taking part, and we're proud to play a small part in helping the Charity continue its important work across Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.”

Several businesses sponsored holes during the event, while prizes for the raffle and auction were donated by companies from across the area.

Organisers also thanked Branshaw Golf Club for preparing the course and supporting players throughout the day.

The charity raises money to enhance patient care and staff wellbeing across Airedale, funding additional equipment, facilities and projects.
