£1,591 raised by the Frodsham & Helsby Golf Society. The cheque was presented to Elle Fitzgeralf of Halton Haven Hospital.
Founded in 1983, the Frodsham & Helsby Golf Society has been a pillar of camaraderie in the local community for over 40 years. Over the decades, it has brought together passionate golfers who share more than just a love for the game. Each year, the society unites players to enjoy golf for charity across various courses throughout the region.
More importantly, beyond the greens, the group’s legacy lies in its unwavering dedication to giving back. Through consistent fundraising efforts and community engagement, this long-standing tradition continues to make a lasting impact, not just on the golf course, but throughout the wider community as well.
Nigel Cunniffe as Golf Captain
The society appoints a new captain each year, and for 2024, Frodsham resident Nigel Cunniffe stepped into this esteemed role. Upon taking on the position, Nigel turned his attention to supporting a cause close to the group’s heart: Halton Haven Hospice. This incredible organisation provides vital care for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses, making them a cornerstone of compassion in the community.
Honouring a Legacy: Supporting Halton Haven Hospice
The decision to support Halton Haven Hospice was inspired by the memory of David Chapman, a cherished member who received exceptional care at the hospice. Under Nigel’s captaincy, members rallied together to raise funds through creative and community-driven golf initiatives for example:
- Sweepstakes: Organized at every event, adding a sense of excitement and friendly competition.
- Auctions: Members generously bid on four-ball rounds at prestigious golf courses.
- Fines for Faux Pas: A light-hearted approach where humorous mistakes on the course turned into charitable contributions.
Overall, the society’s fundraising efforts not only honoured a beloved member but also strengthened their commitment to making a positive impact within the local community.
This effort highlighted the society’s unique ability to blend fun with purpose, ultimately raising vital funds for a deserving cause. If you would like to see some more of our charity work, certainly visit our charity news.
