Westcotts Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers has raised over £7,000 for a local multiple sclerosis centre at their annual charity golf day.
The golf day earlier this month saw 20 teams from across the region join the match and despite the awful weather, spirits were high. The team from NM Drylining South West were crowned the winners on the day, after playing a fantastic game.
With the help of a variety of generous sponsors, the day raised £7,234 for the South West Multiple Sclerosis Centre.
The South West Multiple Sclerosis Centre is a self-funded charity that provides oxygen therapy, physical and complementary therapies, and information and support for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological and long-term health conditions. Treating residents of all ages, the centre also serves as a place to socialise, receive emotional support and helpful advice. It reminds people that they are not alone in their condition and provides an opportunity to share stories.
Westcotts is committed to supporting the communities in which the team live and work, and the firm support a range of local charities including five nominated charities for 2024/25. This charity golf day built on last year’s fundraising efforts which saw £8,000 raised for the MS Centre to support their vital services.
Jon Mitchell, Partner at Westcotts organised the charity golf day, and said: “A huge thank you to all of the teams that participated and our sponsors for their support. We appreciated your dedication and good humour in the face of bad weather and we’re proud to have raised over £7,000 to support the South West MS Centre so they can continue to provide their services to local people.”
Rory Gibson, Chair of the Board of Trustees at the South West MS Centre, said: “Thank you to all the teams and to Westcott’s and our staff for powering though in spite of the challenging weather! We are blown away by the generosity of our members, supporters and businesses who supported us for this important fundraiser.”
“As a local, self-funding charity, every penny really does count, and this money will enable us to subsidise our Oxygen Therapy and Neuro Physiotherapy services for those with Multiple Sclerosis and other long term health conditions.”
