Down Syndrome Cheshire is thrilled to celebrate the tremendous success of our recent annual Golf Day fundraiser, held at the stunning Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club. With over fifty enthusiastic players taking to the fairways under glorious skies, the day was filled with friendly competition, laughter, and community spirit. After a rewarding round of golf, guests enjoyed a hearty hot supper, a refreshing cold beer, and the excitement of our star prize raffle. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, the event raised over £2,500—funds that will go directly towards supporting and empowering our wonderful Down Syndrome Cheshire family.
