Linda Arneill organised the event as a volunteer for Teamwork Trust. She said...

The Golf Day last year was such a huge success we made it an annual event. We wanted to make it bigger and better each time and this year we have gone and smashed our fundraising target.

“I turned to Teamwork Trust a few years ago when I became unwell with mental health issues. Their counselling support is continuing to get me through a difficult period so I know first-hand how much of a difference the money we raised will make. Thank you to all the businesses who supported us either with sponsorship or a team.”

The event ended with a dinner, prize-giving and raffle with donations from businesses including Rodney Hogg Wine Merchant, Kettering Park Hotel, Lighthouse Theatre, Royal George, Cottingham, Savoy Cinema.

Steve Rees from Activate Business Development is the marketing consultant behind the Northamptonshire-based trophy specialists who donated the trophies. He said: “The Big Trophy Shop is delighted to support Teamwork’s Golf Day again with its bespoke trophies for the winning teams. As the trophies are made in parts, it’s also a great opportunity for Teamwork service-users to help assemble the awards and to feel involved in the event.”
