Local housebuilder Crest Nicholson’s South division have raised over £45,000 at their golf event in aid of Young Lives vs Cancer, the charity that helps young people and their families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them.
More than 100 Crest Nicholson employees, contractors, and suppliers gathered at Silvermere Golf Club in Cobham for a day of friendly competition on the green. The golfing was followed with an auction and raffle, featuring a talk from Hollie from Young Lives vs Cancer, who shared how funds raised are crucial in helping the charity support families facing childhood cancer.
