Specialist lender Together held two golf days last week to raise funds for Manchester Mind.

Brokers from the North met at the Mere Resort in Cheshire, whilst in the South, brokers played the course at The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire, taking part in a series of golf games and a grand prize draw.

A total of £1800 was raised for Manchester Mind, one of Together’s chosen charities this year, which was nominated by colleagues following a voting process.

Manchester Mind supports 4000 young people and adults in mental distress every year, and takes a positive approach to challenging stereotypes and discrimination.

Richard Tugwell, group intermediary relationship director at Together, said: “It’s been fantastic to see such support from the broker community for this great cause. It made our annual golf days even more special to know that the funds raised will make a real difference.

“A big congratulations to our winning teams, and thanks to those who donated prizes and helped make it all possible.”

Joanna Huddart at Manchester Mind, added: “With the brilliant fundraising support of Together, we can continue delivering vital services to adults and young people across the city this year. Thank you to everyone who made the golf days such a huge success, it means so much to us all.”

Together’s ‘Let’s get Giving’ charity programme is part of the company’s wider ‘Let’s make it count’ initiative which spans charity, community and the environment.
