A CHARITY which supports families of children with life-limiting conditions has received £27,000 thanks to a golf fundraiser. 

Bewley Homes raised the huge amount in aid of Sebastian’s Action Trust.

The event was made up of 148 golfers, from different subcontractors and suppliers, who all teed off at the Sandford Springs Golf Club in Tadley.

Bewley Homes held the event in June which included various fundraising activities, an auction which raised almost £12,000, raffles and individual donations.

All proceeds raised by Bewley were given to Sebastian’s Action Trust which carries out invaluable support to families with children that have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Commercial director at Bewley Homes, Simon Taphouse, said: “It was a great day and to raise over £27,000 for Sebastian’s Action Trust was a wonderful achievement. We would like to thank everyone who attended and for showing such generosity for this amazing charity as well as the number of Bewley staff who organised the event.”

In the last year, the trust has supported more families than ever through respite breaks, outreach, and specialist services together with events that connect its families.
