AN inaugural joint fundraising event between YMCA Humber and Get Hooked on Positive Activities (GHoPA) aims to raise proceeds to support work with vulnerable young people in North East Lincolnshire.
The two organisations are hosting a Charity Golf Day at Grimsby Golf Club on Friday 31st May and are inviting local people and organisations to take part in the event and help raise much-needed funds for work with socially disadvantaged young people.
GHoPA Managing Director Mark Fenty is looking forward to an ongoing partnership with the YMCA.
He said: "We are excited about our first joint fundraising event with the YMCA and all proceeds raised will help both organisations help more vulnerable young people in the region.
"The event is also to cement and celebrate the on-going partnership and our commitment to work together to help and support young people.
"YMCA Humber supported our move to GHoPA's new offices at their Peaks Lane housing project and we are now working with many of their young people."
Places are still open for teams of four to take part, priced at £120 per team, and the event starts at 11.30am with a bacon bun and refreshments on arrival. There is also fish and chips for all participants after their round.
Also on the day there will be a raffle and a charity auction at 6pm with some very special prizes, including a signed England football shirt from the recent friendly against Brazil, a World Matchplay Dartboard signed on the front by Phil Taylor and seven other top players and much more.
Mr Fenty added: "We would be very grateful for any businesses or individuals to donate raffle or auction prizes.
"We will invite email bids and pledges prior to the event to ensure that we maximize the opportunity to raise funds.
"People are also welcome to attend Grimsby Golf Club from 5.30pm on the day to bid on auction items."
And the GHoPA team are raring to go with two young volunteers joining the ranks.
Mr Fenty continued: "Our team of four will feature two of our Peer Mentors.
"Jordan Reilly is a member of Cleethorpes Golf Club and he is studying alongside Russ Mitchell at Grimsby Institute.
"Both of them are 18 and are eager to gain real life work experience with the GHoPA coaching team, delivering entry-level golf and other sporting activities to young people."
If you are interested in taking part in the YMCA/GHoPA Golf Day or would like to take up one of the sponsorship packages or donate a prize, please call Jonathan Byrne on (01472) 693388 or emailinfo@gcymca.org.uk.
