Derbyshire businesses call for final teams to join charity golf day helping families in need

Two Derbyshire businesses are calling on local firms to sign up for a charity golf day later this month, with just a few team places remaining.

South Normanton-based strategic marketing agency Purpose Media and Derby-headquartered S. O’Brien Heating Solutions are teaming up for a second year to host the event at Morley Hayes on 24th September, in aid of Miles for Smiles.

Building on last year’s success, which raised £15,000 for the European team competing in the Cairn’s Cup, the ‘Ryder Cup of disabled golf’, organisers are aiming to generate even more vital funds this time around.

This year, proceeds will support Miles for Smiles, a local charity which has raised more than £380,000 since 2016, providing grants and memorable experiences to 379 families and organisations affected by disabilities, life-changing and life-limiting conditions across South Derbyshire, East Staffordshire and North West Leicestershire.

“After the tremendous success of last year, we’re excited to be hosting the golf day again. We have just a few places left, and we’d love to see more businesses and groups get involved. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a day of golf, while supporting a charity that makes a real difference to so many families,” said Steve O’Brien, owner of S. O ‘Brien Heating Solutions.

Matt Wheatcroft, managing director of Purpose Media, added: “Sport has the power to bring people together, and by taking part in this event, businesses can enjoy a great day out while also helping Miles for Smiles continue its incredible work.

“Our experience last year shows that businesses in our region are prepared to do their bit for a good cause and we’re certain that, once again, they will want to be a part of such a positive initiative.”

It costs £400 per team of four to take part in the golf day, which will include breakfast, a two-course dinner and awards ceremony, as well as competitions throughout the day, including longest drive and closest to the pin.
