With the sun shining, our second charity golf day brought together 88 players to raise over £8,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Charity
Our Second Charity Golf Day Raises Funds for Alder Hey
We successfully held our second charity golf day, and once again it proved to be a fantastic event. With colleagues, clients, and suppliers among the 88 golfers out on the course, the day was filled with friendly competition, great company, and a shared commitment to supporting a worthwhile cause. Just like last year, a great day was had by all — and a fantastic amount of money was raised in the process.
This year’s chosen charity was Alder Hey Children’s Charity, an organisation that plays a vital role in supporting the 450,000 children and young people treated at Alder Hey each year. The charity helps fund lifesaving equipment, world-class facilities, and those extra touches that make a hospital stay a little easier for young patients and their families. Their work ensures Alder Hey continues to be not just a leading centre for paediatric care, but also a truly patient-focused and compassionate environment.
Over £8,000 Will Go a Long Way
The money raised will go directly towards funding lifesaving medical equipment and state-of-the-art facilities at Alder Hey, helping to make a real and lasting difference to children and young people in need of care. In addition, the funds support the “Alder Hey magic” — those small but meaningful extras that help make a hospital stay as positive and comforting as possible for both patients and their families.
We’re proud to share that over £8,000 was raised on the day. A huge thank you goes to our generous sponsors, those who donated prizes, and everyone who took part. Your support made this achievement possible and will have a genuine impact on the lives of many children.
Charity Auction Ends on a Personal Note
A memorable moment from the day was the charity auction, which ended in a good-natured bidding war between two Barlows directors over the Alder Hey Elephant mascot. Both have children who were recently treated at Alder Hey, giving them a personal appreciation for the hospital’s outstanding work and making the moment especially meaningful.
Not to disappoint we purchased a second elephant — a fitting outcome for a cause close to many of our hearts.
We’re truly grateful to all who took part, donated, or supported the event in any way — your contribution made a real difference.
