A charity golf day hosted by a building supplies company has raised thousands of pounds for a cancer charity.

Grant & Stone, located on Montem Lane in Slough, held its annual charity golf day earlier this month.

The event was held at Huntswood Golf Club, in Taplow Common Road, Burnham, and raised £4,775 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

A total of 125 customers, staff, and suppliers took part in the 18-hole four-ball golf tournament.

There were also prizes awarded during the event and raffle, including an electric golf buggy, an iPhone SE, Apple AirPods, a digital lock set, and golf day vouchers.

The day concluded with a celebratory barbecue, followed by prize giving, a raffle, and a charity auction.

Eliot Ryan, business support manager at Grant & Stone and organiser of the event, said: "We are delighted with the success of this year's golf day and the fantastic amount raised for such an important cause.

"A huge thank you to everyone who took part – from the players to the organisers and those who supported us on the day.

"Without their commitment, we would not have been able to achieve this.

"Macmillan Cancer Support offers vital care, and we are proud to contribute to their efforts."

Macmillan Cancer Support provides help to people living with cancer, offering medical, financial, and emotional assistance.

The funds raised by Grant & Stone will help the charity continue to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.

Grant & Stone was established in 1987 and has builders' merchants, plumbers' merchants, electrical wholesalers, and kitchen and bathroom showrooms across the Thames Valley.
