On Friday 7 June, Leek Building Society hosted a Charity Golf Day at Westwood Golf Club in Leek. The event was held to raise funds for the Leek Building Society Charitable Foundation, a charity dedicated to making a positive impact to the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged people locally.
The award-winning local building society was supported in its aim to raise money for its Foundation by many of their key contacts and suppliers, along with some local businesses and organisations, who all entered teams into the competition.
Over £6,000 was raised and will be used by the Foundation to provide grants to local charities and community groups across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire.
Speaking about the event, Rob Longmore, HR Director at Leek Building Society, said:
“We’re overwhelmed by the support and generosity shown by our contacts and local businesses that have helped us to raise such a tremendous amount for our Charitable Foundation. I’d also like to offer our thanks to the team at Westwood Golf Club for the use of their excellent facilities and helping us to host such an enjoyable day.”
Commenting on their involvement in the building society’s Charity Golf Day, Derek Parker at Westwood Golf Club, said, “Westwood Golf Club were honoured to host the Leek Building Society Golf Day where the standard of golf from the varied teams was very high. The team from Leek Building Society made everyone most welcome and the feedback on the course was very positive.”
