Chart Hills helps our heroes

The golf day in July consisted of 18 holes of golf on the Nick Faldo-designed championship course, a four-course dinner, raffle and auction in the evening.
Guests were also treated to a special video which highlighted the great work carried out at Hedley Court the main rehabilitation centre used by Help for Heroes for wounded soldiers.

We were delighted with the total amount raised and we have already booked the venue again for next year s event.

To have raised more than £10,000 is a big achievement and we are thrilled that it is going to a very worthy cause.
We are also delighted to announce that Help for Heroes will continue to use Chart Hills as the official venue for its golf days in the region next year.
