The money raised will be divided between The Forget Me Not Club, which supports individuals and families affected by dementia, and Camphill Blair Drummond, which provides a home, activities and opportunities for personal development for adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs.

The Golf Day has become a fixture in Bancon Group’s charitable calendar, raising over £30,000 since its launch three years ago.

Jamie Tosh, managing director of Bancon Homes and Construction, said: “Our annual golf day has been a great success. As well as bringing together our generous sponsors, colleagues, and clients from across Bancon’s construction, home, and timber frame business, we have raised funds for two incredible local organisations, The Forget Me Not Club and Camphill Blair Drummond. 

“The Golf Day builds on Bancon’s fundraising and community initiatives throughout the year, and we are proud to support both charities and the vital work they do in our local area.”

Emily Clark, Forget Me Not Club, community engagement and fundraising organiser, said: “The current financial climate is a challenging one in the third sector, and as a charity that is wholly dependent on donations and fundraising, we have seen a significant drop in our income from events and donations from private individuals. 

“This means that we simply couldn’t continue to offer the life-changing support that so many people from our community rely upon without the friendship and generosity of local businesses, so this gift from Bancon Group, raised at their recent charity golf day, comes at a very welcome time.”

The event was made possible by eight sponsors such as Advance Construction Scotland, EIS Waste Services, General & Technical Flooring, RG Electrical, Burness Paull LLP, Pitkerro Plumbing & Heating, Huws Gray and Compass Print Group.
