Last month we hosted our annual Charity Golf Day at Cumberwell Park. With over 100 clients, suppliers, and friends of the agency spread across our traditional Golf Comp and our Non Golfers ‘scare the life out of the pro and passers-by due to excessive Pimms consumption’ we raised a wonderful £6,000 to be split across Young Lives vs Cancer and Children’s Hospice South West.

Heidi Houlihan from Children’s Hospice South West had the following to say:

“A huge thank you to Mostly Media for their very kind donation which could pay for one of our hospice nurses for a month which will help create precious memories for families in our care.”

Charlotte Rutherford at Young Lives vs Cancer told us that the money we raised could contribute towards:

– 1.5 months for a family to stay in one of their Home from Homes.
– 6 Financial Hardship Grants.
– 10 Compassionate Grants
– 30 Young Lives vs Cancer Registration Grants.
– 115 hours for their amazing social workers to spend with families facing a cancer diagnosis.

We can’t thank everyone enough for attending and donating to such brilliant causes. And a huge thanks to every single one of the Mostly Team who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the day the best it could be.

This year people came from far and wide with Hans Heide-Ottosen flying in from Norway and Mark Palmer from Australia… Now if that’s not pulling power, we don’t know what is!

Despite end of the world conditions our hardy guests battled the elements in a hard-fought battle with Jak Alcock from IMG triumphing in the individual stableford competition, and Camille Mendes, Andrew Mallandaine and Mark Wood winning the team event. Special mentions to Richard Twiggs for shooting the lowest gross score on the day (yet again because he is often the only ‘real’ golfer in attendance) and Keith Crisp who received the ‘Thanks for Coming Award’ of some Cider Vinegar for coming along and failing badly!

Final mention to Justin Hardy who sadly took a tumble, tore his quad muscle from his knee cap and ended up in Hospital for many hours before having an op rendering him out of action for nearly a year. Who said golf wasn’t fraught with danger. Get well soon Justin!

The event turns 18 next year and we’ll be pushing to make it our biggest fund raiser ever – so if you want to get involved please let the team know.
