Charity Golf Day Raises Over £12,500 for Stevenage Community Trust
2nd July 2025
On Wednesday 2nd July, Chesfield Downs Golf Club hosted a fantastic charity golf day in support of Stevenage Community Trust. The event brought together 23 enthusiastic teams, all teeing off for a great cause—supporting vital community aid in and around Stevenage.
Throughout the day, players took part in various on-course competitions—from longest drive to nearest the pin—adding to the fun and friendly competition. After 18 holes of spirited play, it was Ivel Foremasons who emerged as the overall winners, taking home the top honours of the day.
Thanks to the generosity of all participants, sponsors, and supporters, the event raised an incredible record-breaking figure of over £12,500. Every penny will go directly towards helping individuals, families, and local organisations in need across the Stevenage area.
This wonderful outcome would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A special thank you goes to our Main Event Sponsor: Tollers Solicitors, whose contribution helped make the day possible.
We’re also incredibly grateful to our:
- Gold Sponsor: KB Concerts
- Silver Sponsors: GCIS (UK) and JDL Construction
- Bronze Sponsors: ARK Lasting Powers & Wills, Austin’s Funeral Directors, and Heneom HR
And special thanks to Graham at Fade to Gray Photography and our golf professional Wayne Hill.
Feedback from the event was fantastic, one comment was “Thank you all for organising a great day, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was kind to us and a huge amount was raised for the charity which is the main goal.”
We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another great day of golf and giving! Please SAVE THE DATE – 1stJuly 2026.
