Lady captain’s year helps tee up a big cash donation for CP Society
THE activities of the Lady Captain’s Charity of the Year initiative at Bramall Park Golf Club have raised £2,500 for Stockport CP Society.
The money was raised through events held in 2017 and 2018, including a Christmas fair, ladies’ lunch and various golf competitions.
Francesca Swarbrick, who was 2017–18 lady captain at Bramall Park Golf Club, chose Stockport CP as the club’s charity of the year.
She said: “Stockport CP provides an essential service to children, young people and adults who experience daily challenges which many of us could never imagine.
“Against a backdrop of recent government funding cuts, SCP staff work hard to provide a service that helps to make a real and positive difference to the lives of children and adults they support.
“Having worked closely with SCP’s fundraising team throughout the year to make the activities a success, I was thrilled to be able to hand over the cheque for £2,500 which I know will be used to great effect.”
SCP chief executive officer Sarah Thomas added: “We’re delighted to have been chosen as the Lady Captain’s Charity of the Year at Bramall Park Golf Club.
“As a charity, fundraising is a valuable source of our income. Being selected by Francesca meant that we were able to work closely with both her and Bramall Park Golf Club to raise valuable income whilst having an opportunity to engage locally with businesses and individuals to raise awareness of SCP and the work that we do.”
