Allison Homes golf day raises over £37,000 for Marie Curie
We are proud to share that our first charity golf day, held at Belton Woods Golf Resort and Spa in Grantham, raised an incredible £37,848.76 in support of Marie Curie.
The event, held on Thursday 11th September, brought together 19 teams made up of our partners, subcontractors and employees, uniting for a day of friendly competition and fundraising.
The day was generously supported by our partners and subcontractors. Special thanks go to main sponsor MV Kelly, platinum sponsors C3 Civil Engineering and T&W Civils, and gold sponsor Knauf Insulation, whose support played a key role in making the day such a success.
Players took part in an 18-hole competition with challenges including Hole-in-One, Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive, with scores tracked via a live app to keep the rivalry lively. After a day on the course, guests enjoyed a drinks reception, three-course dinner and prize-giving ceremony recognising the best team score, top three individual players and challenge winners.
The evening finished with a lively raffle and auction, hosted by Kevin Durham, featuring a fantastic range of prizes and experiences generously donated by a variety of companies. *
Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the final fundraising total reached an impressive £37,848.76, which will help Marie Curie continue to provide vital care and support for people living with terminal illness and their families.
John Anderson, CEO of Allison Homes, said: “We are extremely proud of the success of our charity golf day and the incredible amount raised for Marie Curie. The generosity shown was overwhelming and went far beyond our expectations. I am deeply grateful to everyone who took part, from our employees to our partners and subcontractors, for coming together in support of such an important cause.
“Supporting Marie Curie means helping people and families at one of the most difficult times in life, and we are honoured to play a part in that.”
Charlotte Jackson, Head of Fundraising for Midlands and the South West at Marie Curie, said:
“Marie Curie is incredibly grateful for this generous donation. It was a tremendous day to be a part of, and the support was truly remarkable.
“Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end of life charity. We provide care and support for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them.
“We bring more than 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give at home, in our hospices and over the phone. And we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system. This incredible donation from Allison Homes will ensure that we can continue on our mission to close the gap in end of life care.”
The golf day was more than just a fundraiser – it was a celebration of teamwork, community spirit and generosity. With over £37,848 raised, the event will make a meaningful difference to people living with terminal illness and their loved ones.
