Golf challenge raises over £70,000 for charities

A golf challenge backed by Morley Hayes has raised more than £70,000 for local charities.

The 3 Bunkers Challenge, organised by Simple Marketing Consultancy, saw teams compete across three golf courses – including Morley Hayes.

Several teams took part, including one from Shakespeare Martineau.

Funds raised will support local cancer research projects and the NSPCC.

Event organiser Bev Cook said: “We are incredibly proud to have raised such a significant amount and move closer to our £100,000 cumulative fundraising target.

“After visiting last year’s beneficiary, the Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre at the University of Nottingham, we saw first-hand the impact this challenge can have in supporting vital research and care.”
