Once again businesses across Sheffield came together earlier this month at Hallamshire Golf Club and battled it out on the magnificent 18-hole course.
The annual event which has been supported by IFM Insurance Brokers over the past 9 years has raised a grand total of £201,067 and over £22,200 from this month’s golf day alone.
The golf day attracted over 40 teams drawn from local South Yorkshire businesses who competed throughout the day.
The money raised was donated to Sheffield Hospitals Charity, specifically to support neurology and neurosciences at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS FT Trust.
Alister Smith, Director of IFM Insurance said: “Once again it was great to see so many familiar faces supporting the golf day. The monies raised from this event form a vital part of the ongoing funding of neurology related support in Sheffield, and we are pleased to have played a small part in raising such an amazing sum of money.”
Beth Crackles, CEO of Sheffield Hospitals Charity said: “A huge thank you to IFM Insurance Brokers Ltd for their ongoing support and to everyone who took part in what was an incredible day. This year we are funding an outdoor rehabilitation area at the Northern General, so that neurology patients have a dedicated space to begin regaining their physical independence outside of the ward. In research, we recently committed to funding the exploration of potential links between abnormalities in the immune system and epilepsy. We are also continuing to fund research into FSHD – a degenerative neuromuscular disease. The funds we raise make such a big difference to people across Sheffield receiving care and benefitting from research.”
