Derian House Children’s Hospice has benefitted from a windfall of over £10,000 thanks to the generosity of Peter Jackson the Jeweller’s charity golf day.
“This was our 10th annual charity golf event and we had a great day,” said Peter Jackson, Managing Director. “As a company we are keen to find ways of supporting local charities and over the last 10 years the golf day alone has raised almost £100,000.”
Over the years Peter Jackson the Jeweller has supported a wide range of charities with the proceeds of the golf days going to the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, the Prince’s Trust and Derian House. Thanks to the generosity of golfers £10,750 has been given to Derian House this year to help support their valuable work.
“I would like to thank and congratulate everyone who took part. The day included a good deal of friendly rivalry, but by far the most important outcome was that we have been able to present this cheque to Derian House, a fantastic charity which does so much good work.”
Trevor Briggs from Derian House added: “The ongoing support of this golf day by Peter Jackson the Jewellers has ensured much needed and significant funds have been raised for the hospice, making a huge difference to children and their families facing a difficult and unsure future, on their behalf it’s a big thank you.”
