Prince's Trust golf fundraiser details
The Prince's Trust has announced details of its annual celebrity golf tournament which will be held in the North East on June 26th to raise valuable funds to change young lives across the region.
The amateur golf event is one of three sporting activities to be held this year as part of ‘The Prince's Trust Challenge Trophy' which last year raised almost a quarter of a million pounds to support disadvantaged youngsters in the North East.
The one-day golf tournament will take place at the picturesque Slaley Hall in Northumberland and will offer guests a chance to enjoy an exclusive alongside celebrity supporters such as actor Tim Healey and former Newcastle United player Paul Bracewell.
David Beavis, North East Regional Director for The Prince's Trust, said: "This is not just a fantastic opportunity to play a serious round of golf on a championship course alongside celebrity supporters; this is about raising money to change the lives of many disadvantaged youngsters here in the North East who deserve a second chance in life."
The Challenge Trophy's series of events will involve two teams of celebrities and members of the public going head-to-head under the colours of team presidents, His Grace, The Duke of Northumberland and The Right Honourable Earl of Durham, Lord Durham.
Last year's hugely popular golf tournament saw 80 players enjoy a sunny round to raise £30,000 with the help of celebrities such as Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer, England cricketer Steve Harmison and former Newcastle United defender John Berseford.
The youth charity, which works with those who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law needs to raise around £1million per week to continue its valuable work.
The Prince's Trust Challenge Trophy 2008 is also set to include a Celebrity Clay Shoot and a Celebrity Track Day Driving Experience on 15th July. For further information on all three events, call the regional office on 0191 4973 210.
