Our Club Captains and Charities



This year all Club Captains will be supporting one charity - Alzheimer's Society

Following a vote by all club members, we are proud to support the Alzheimer’s Society as our chosen charity.
This incredible organisation provides vital support to people living with dementia and to the families affected by this devastating disease.

"1.4 million people are expected to be living with dementia by 2040."

Join us in raising funds to help build a future “where dementia no longer devastates lives.”

Club Charity Strategy

We are a great Club with so many generous, well-connected, and talented people within our ranks. In order to make the most of this resource we have decided to develop a "˜One Club' approach to fundraising and to bring all our charitable fundraising activity under the one roof. 

To organise and administer this we have established a Charity Sub-Committee which will be chaired by the Club Captain. The idea is a simple one: that the separate golfing Sections of the Club (led by their respective Captains) will work as one team, supported by the Club Admin team, sharing fairly, the workload, and the money that is raised amongst the respective Captain's charitable cause(s). The aim is to raise more money as a whole, through shared knowledge and resources, working on the principle that the whole will hopefully be greater than the sum of the parts!  What we want to avoid is a "˜scattergun' approach of asking for help in the form of donations and sponsorship. We are acutely aware that we cannot keep asking the same people, time and time again, without a degree of 'charity fatigue' setting in.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
