GOLF BAGS CASH FOR CHRISTIES.

It was a grand day on the golf course – seventy five grand being the new milestone of charity cash scored by 52 management, staff and suppliers of Housing Units.

Around £2,600 was raised for The Christie Hospital on the day of the Housing Units Charity Golf Day at Saddleworth Golf Club on August 28, but the company’s charity events over the past seven years have now raised more than £75,000.

“The charity we support is the choice of Housing Units’ staff, and we have a superb relationship with Christies – so handing over the cheque will be a great pleasure,” said Nick Fox of Housing Units.

One winner was of course Christies, but the man with the trophy on the day was Steve Evans of TCS North, Housing Units’ media planning agency.

Steve Evans’ trophy was accompanied by a winner’s prize of £300 Housing Units Gift Voucher.

“It was our seventh annual golf tournament, and the great thing about golfers is that they know how to have a great day whether they’re planning for fun – or to make a genuine contribution to changing somebody’s life for the better,” said Nick Fox.

“While everybody had a fantastic day, we did not lose sight of the fact that we were raising money for people less fortunate than ourselves.

“It is vitally important for local business to support local causes, and the best way to do it is to provide an enjoyable day that people want to return to again and again.”
