A CHILDREN'S hospice outside Oswestry has been the beneficiary of a Golf Day held by a popular town company.

EvaStore Document Management held its annual charity golf day last month at Oswestry Golf Club, raising £3,500 for Morda-based Hope House and Ty Gobaith hospice.

The cheque was presented to the charity this week at the EvaStore offices on the Artillery Business Park.

Vicky Bradbeer, sales and marketing coordinator for EvaStore, thanked all those who took part to support their cause.

She said “We had a fantastic day, the weather was amazing, and the course and hospitality was second to none.

"There were several competitions out on the course including the opportunity to win a Jaguar for a hole-in-one on the ninth.

"We also had a raffle of prizes which had been kindly donated by local businesses to help us raise as much money as possible.

"I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the event either by entering a team or donating a raffle prize, we really appreciate your support.”

Lynsey Kilvert, fundraising team leader for Hope House said: "We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support we have received from EvaStore.

"Without the generosity of our community, we wouldn't be able to raise the money we desperately need to make sure we are here for the seriously-ill local children and their families that need us the most.

"We need to raise £6.5 million a year to run our services and that simply would not be possible without support from the likes of EvaStore and their supporters.”

The popular event, now an annual staple at Oswestry Golf Club, saw a total of 22 teams enter, with winning team Berrys scoring an excellent score of 88 points.
