Persimmon Homes West Scotland raises over £11,000 for The Beatson Cancer Charity at annual golf tournament

Persimmon Homes West Scotland hit the green in style for their third annual charity golf tournament on Friday 8th August, raising an impressive £11,215 for The Beatson Cancer Charity.

Held at the prestigious East Renfrewshire Golf Club, the event welcomed 80 attendees, including Persimmon staff, subcontractors, and land agents, all coming together to support the charity’s vital work.

The day was packed with excitement, with golfers competing in a variety of on-course challenges, including the longest drive using a persimmon wood golf club, a “Beat the Pro” competition, and a “Closest to the Pin” challenge. The competition was fierce, with teams showing off their skill and sportsmanship throughout the day.

Max Hill, Persimmon West Scotland Land Buyer and the event’s organiser, said:

"It’s amazing to see so many people come together to support such a fantastic cause. The atmosphere on the course was brilliant, and I’m thrilled that we could raise such a significant amount for The Beatson."

Chris Logan, Managing Director of Persimmon West Scotland, said:

"The Beatson Cancer Charity has touched the lives of so many people, and we’re proud to continue supporting their important work. This golf tournament is a highlight in our fundraising calendar and plays a big role in helping us make a difference."

The event was made possible thanks to the generosity of sponsors, with AIM Building and Maintenance Services LTD leading the way as the headline sponsor.

Earlier this year, Persimmon Homes West Scotland announced The Beatson Cancer Charity as their charity of choice for the third consecutive year. From exhilarating zipline challenges over the River Clyde to dress-down days at the office, Persimmon employees have been busy raising funds through a variety of initiatives.

The £11,215 raised at this year’s golf tournament will contribute to Persimmon’s ongoing efforts to support The Beatson Cancer Charity, ensuring they can continue delivering life-saving services to cancer patients across Scotland.
