It was a day of blue skies and camaraderie as over 80 golfers took to the greens in Buxton to raise £7,632 for Blythe House Hospice.
The Buxton & High Peak Charity Golf Day, held on Friday 16th May 2025, was a resounding success, as 21 teams gathered under glorious sunshine for a memorable day on the course.
The atmosphere was full of friendly competition and generous spirit, all in aid of local hospice care. The event also featured games on the course and a popular bottle tombola, which added to the fun and helped boost the final fundraising total.
Rachael Gee, Fundraising & Events Co-ordinator at Blythe House, said: ‘We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, which added to the fantastic atmosphere throughout the day. It was a real pleasure to welcome so many teams to the event – more than 80 golfers all coming together to support a cause close to their hearts.
‘We’re hugely grateful to our headline sponsor, Pak Pro of Whaley Bridge, for their continued support of the hospice, and to Buxton and High Peak Golf Club for hosting the event so generously for the past seven years. Thanks also to Buxton Woodworks, our ball sponsor, as well as all our brilliant tee sponsors, our wonderful volunteers, and of course, every single player who made the day such a tremendous success.’
It now costs over £2.3 million every year to keep services at Blythe House Hospice running. Over 70% of the hospice’s income comes from the generous support of the local community through donations, charity shops and events like this.
Funds raised help ensure that Blythe House Hospice can continue providing vital, free care and support to patients and families across the High Peak, Derbyshire Dales and North East Derbyshire.
