The Ortus Group Annual Charity Golf Day, held in September, successfully raised £8,470 to support two local charities: Active Communities Network and Kids Together Belfast.
The event, hosted at the Hilton Templepatrick, saw many local businesses come together to compete in a friendly but fiercely competitive golf tournament that’s now been running for 15 years.
“We are delighted to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of this fantastic event, the support from Ortus and all the event participants and sponsors will allow us to expand our reach and provide more opportunities for people in our community to get active and engaged.”
The generosity shown through this donation will make a tangible difference for the children and families we support. We received £4,235.00 from Ortus and this additional funding came at a very crucial time as we had to replace our middle-floor sensory room which is very expensive to furnish. Thank you to everyone who took part in the Charity Golf Day and for helping us continue our work.
Active Communities Network is a well-established charity that provides sports, physical activity, and well-being programs for individuals across Northern Ireland, focusing on increasing participation in sports and fostering social connections. Meanwhile, Kids Together Belfast is dedicated to improving the lives of children and families through a wide range of educational and support services, emphasising children with disabilities and additional needs.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this year’s Charity Golf Day such a success especially the golfers and the sponsors,” said Seamus O’Prey. The £8,470 raised will support Active Communities Network EmpowHER programme and Kids Together Belfast, who do invaluable work in youth engagement, inclusion, and community development.”
