CHELMSFORD golfers clubbed together to raise £6,500 for Little Havens Hospice.
Sandon Golf Club hosted its annual fundraiser at Channel's golf club for 75 golfers on Friday, August 9, before they were joined by 30 more people for a barbecue, stand-up comedy, a raffle and an auction.
The event has raised £47,000 for the charity over six years.
Gary Carlile, secretary of the society, said about a recent visit to the hospice in Thundersley: "It was very uplifting, and we could really see how important the support of the community was to ensure the hospice could continue to support local families. We declared our fundraising as unfinished business."
Derek Briggs, a Volunteer Speaker for Little Havens, brought his team along on the day.
He said: "It was clear to me how dedicated everybody was to supporting the charity. Little Havens does not charge a penny for its care and this simply wouldn't be possible without events like this one.
"I would like to thank everybody who helped to make the day a great success."
