A County Durham golf club will host a charity golf day to raise funds for vital community services.

South Moor Golf Club, based in Stanley, has partnered once again with Consett Rotary Club to organise the event, which will take place on June 19.

Entry costs £150 per team of four, and the event is open to both men and women.

Chris Robson, event organiser, South Moor Golf Club member and Consett Rotarian, said: "Last year’s fundraising effort was a brilliant success and showed what can be achieved when the club and local community work together.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another fantastic day and hopefully raising even more money for charity this year."

Last year's charity day raised £6,000, thanks to the support of players, sponsors, and local businesses.

South Moor Golf Club raised more than £1,300 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation through the club captain’s charity events in 2024.

Funds raised from this year's event will support a multiple sclerosis charity, Willowburn Hospice, and the Rotary Club’s dementia-friendly choir.

Golfers and businesses from across the region are encouraged to take part in the four-person team event, which will include a full round of golf and an evening presentation.

The day will feature competitions such as nearest-the-pin and longest-drive, along with raffles and other fundraising activities.

Players, businesses, and supporters interested in taking part can contact Chris Robson on 07501 454448 to find out more or to book a place.
