The annual Macmillan Golf Days, held in September and October 2024 at Barnham Broom Golf Club, raised an impressive £27,075. This contribution brings the total amount raised over the years to an incredible £322,000, all in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.
As in previous years, funds are specifically earmarked for Macmillan Nurses in Norfolk, enabling them to make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of cancer patients across the county.
Despite financial challenges facing many individuals and businesses in 2024, remarkable generosity was shown by loyal supporters. Special thanks go to the event's main sponsor, Mark Burton of MCB Financial Services Ltd, along with Nathan Daly (Daly Group Ltd), Chris Mann (Artisan Drinks Company), Dean Peruzzi (DMD Installations), Scott Walker (Solar Signs), and Rachel Edwards (Cozens Hardy) for their valuable contributions.
This year’s outstanding fundraising achievement was made possible by a combination of efforts, including donations of gifts, team entries for the golf days, sponsorship of banners, and contributions from over 70 golf clubs across the UK. The dedication of numerous volunteers, who generously gave their time and energy, was critical to the success of the events, and their efforts are deeply appreciated.
Looking ahead, plans are already in motion for the 2025 Macmillan Golf Days. A portion of next year’s proceeds will be shared with East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), a local charity devoted to caring for seriously ill children. MCB Financial Services Ltd has again agreed to be the main sponsor.
The main event is provisionally scheduled to take place on Friday, October 10, 2025, at Barnham Broom Golf Club.
Graham Knights, Ambassador for Macmillan Cancer Support in Norfolk and Barnham Broom Club Ambassador, expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the 2024 events, stating:
“The dedication and generosity of our supporters truly make a difference in the lives of those battling cancer in Norfolk. Thank you to everyone who played a part, big or small, in this year’s success. Your support is invaluable.”
