The Ladies Captain at Ferndown Golf Club has chosen the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation as her charity of support for 2023, writes Pete Thornton.

Julie wanted to work with a local charity as opposed to a large national charity and was impressed by the work that the Foundation do and the opportunities they provide for young people in the local community.
The Foundation says it is is honoured to have been chosen by the Ladies Captain at he South West’s premier 27-hole heathland golf course, and they are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

Julie said: “When I was looking for a charity to support, something about the Foundation and the work they do with young people resonated with me.
“On meeting Pete and Linda my decision was cemented.
“I am really looking forward to working with them over the coming 12 months.”
Shortly after announcing her chosen charity, Julie and her team organised a fabulous Christmas Fayre in support.

It was a spectacular event with an incredible array of Christmas gifts, goodies, decorations, jewellery, handbags, glitzy outfits and shoes, everything you could possibly need for the seasonal celebrations.
The members and guests were extremely generous, and the event tremendously well supported.

Without the support of people like Julie and her club, the Foundation wouldn’t be able to do the great work that it does with young people who need our support now more than ever before.

We can’t thank Julie and her team enough, as this partnership will make a huge difference to the opportunities that the Foundation can provide going forward.
