HEX Living Golf Day raises £6,600 for A Child of Mine

 

An impressive £6,600 was raised for charity when HEX Living welcomed customers, suppliers and industry partners to its annual Charity Golf Day at the prestigious JCB Golf & Country Club.

 

The event brought together 40 golfers for a day of friendly competition on one of the UK's most acclaimed championship courses, with all proceeds going to A Child of Mine, supporting the charity's vital work helping families affected by the death of a baby or child.

 

Played under sunny skies, participants enjoyed ideal golfing conditions for much of the day before strong winds made an appearance, adding an extra layer of difficulty as players reached the famous 17th hole, renowned for testing even the most confident golfers.

 

Competition on the course was fierce, but it was HEX Living Operations Director Neal Lafford who ultimately emerged as the overall winner – for the second time since the company launched its charity golf day events.

 

Following the golf, guests gathered for an evening BBQ-style, and a charity auction. Auction prizes included a Porsche driving experience and private tuition at Eaton Hall Shooting Ground, with attendees showing tremendous generosity throughout the evening.

 

Paul Clews, Managing Director at HEX Living, said: "Our Charity Golf Day has become one of the highlights of the year, bringing together customers, suppliers and friends of the business for a fantastic cause. Raising £6,600 for A Child of Mine is a brilliant achievement and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who took part, donated prizes and supported the event. Events like this demonstrate what can be achieved when our team, customers, suppliers and partners come together behind a shared cause, and we're already looking forward to doing it all again next year."

 

Gayle Routledge, Founder of A Child of Mine, added: “We are incredibly grateful for the continued support shown by HEX Living and everyone who took part in this year's Golf Day. The funds raised will help us continue providing vital bereavement support, guidance and practical help to families facing the devastating loss of a child. It was wonderful to see so many people come together to support our cause and help make a real difference.”
