Charity Friends of the Elderly’s Kidderminster Day Care in Worcestershire, which supports people living with dementia and a range of age-related conditions, has received a £3,000 donation thanks to the 2023 Kidderminster Carpet Manufacturers National Golf Tournament.

At a recent luncheon at Kidderminster Golf Club, Shirley Bradley, the charity’s head of day care services, was presented with a cheque for £3,000 by Shaun Lewis, the joint chairman of the tournament.

Lewis commented: “The annual two-day tournament saw many golfers take to the fairways and greens at Kidderminster Golf Club to take on the 18-hole course. This year’s tournament was very well supported and raised a substantial amount of money that we are pleased to be able to distribute to a few local charities, one of which is Friends of the Elderly’s Kidderminster Day Care Service.

Bradley said: “It’s wonderful to be chosen again for another year as one of the charities The Kidderminster Carpet Manufacturers National Golf Tournament supports. To receive such a substantial donation is greatly appreciated.”

“We will be using the sizeable, generous donation money to replace the existing blinds in the day care centre. The new blinds will have lining that will keep the clients cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and will make such a difference.
