Samaritans of Harrogate calls for donations from local businesses
Samaritans of Harrogate has called for local businesses to donate prizes for its upcoming charity golf day.
The event, on June 24, will be the charity's first golf day since 2019 due to covid.
It has asked local businesses to donate prizes in sets of four, such as hampers and food vouchers. They will be awarded to the winning golf teams or used to make up the raffle.
Fundraising co-ordinator Carol Chapman said:
Members of the public can enter as teams of four for the golf competition, with five places left to fill.
The event will begin at 1:30pm at Harrogate Golf Club and will continue into the evening, with raffle prizes being announced at the clubhouse.
In 2019, the golf day raised almost £6,000 for the charity, which contributed to the £35,000 a year needed to keep the charity running.
Samaritans offers a confidential phone service for people feeling distressed or who are struggling with their mental health.
The Harrogate branch has around 120 volunteers who listen and offer advice to callers, as well as helping with fundraising events.
