CHIC Charity Golf Days raises an amazing £19,056 for CHIP!
The CHIC team and supply chain partners took to the golf course in July and September 2026 for CHIC’s annual fundraising golf days. 59 teams made up of over 230 golfers teed off at both Macdonald Portal Hotel and Whittlebury Park Hotel Golf Resorts to play a round of 18 holes. Each day concluded with a raffle fundraiser which had some amazing prizes up for grabs.
We are pleased to announce the final total raised for CHIP across both events is £19,056!
The money raised will be used to support CHIP in meeting its social value objectives, which includes:
This fund supports local projects throughout the UK. Each organisation can apply for a grant of up to £5,000 to support the inception or growth of a project or programme. These can include mental health wellbeing sessions, education and training opportunities, homelessness prevention, recycling schemes and many others. The money raised over both days could directly support a further three to four CCF projects, meaning that CHIP can support more people and communities.
CHIP supports Local Employment Groups (LEGs), which are organisations designed to offer a range of employability skills, training and qualifications to people who are distant from the workplace. Ultimately, the training and education they provide will help individuals into a variety of employment pathways. The important work they deliver ensures that people from all backgrounds and facing different hardships have a better path forward. With the money raised over both days, this could provide opportunities to support more Local Employment Groups.
Overall, both the event was a great success, and we hope that everyone who attended enjoyed them. We would like to thank all the supply chain partners that took part and supported the events. CHIP would like to thank all our CHIC colleagues for organising, running and taking part in these events.
Every pound raised helps CHIP deliver meaningful social value for local communities. If your organisation would like to partner with CHIP, support future fundraising initiatives, or learn more about the work of CHIP, get in touch with the CHIP team by emailing [email protected].
