Beyond Ourselves Golf Day

Last Friday we held our 6th annual Golf Day and party at Bush Hill Park Golf Club. With 20 teams playing in the day and over 170 evening guests, it was yet again an amazingly well supported day! Thank you to everyone who came.

The golfers had varying success but at least the sun was shining and the Pimms tent was open! Congratulations to our winning team; Irene Dickinson, Sue Collins, Pauline Platt and Janet Andrews who came in with 93 points. Well done ladies!

It wasn’t all about the golf, the Pimms, the food and the amazing band – Jazzbomb!

For those of you who know us well, you know that we are journeying with our partner schools in Zambia towards self-sustainability, both educationally and financially. Educationally, we are currently focusing on the teachers’ professional development and raising the levels of teaching and learning in the schools. Financially, we are developing social enterprises around each school community to provide skills training, employment and finance that can help sustain the school in the future.
The auction in the evening was not only highly entertaining (thanks Ben!) but also raised £14,000, which will go a long way to helping meet the continued everyday need of the schools as well as push in to new social enterprises within the communities.

Thank you again to everyone who came and supported us, and to those who helped make the day happen!
Thank you!
