The event on Thursday 19th June raised an impressive £18,740 which will be split evenly between Beatson Cancer Charity and Lintel Trust, two organisations delivering vital support in the fields of health and housing, respectively.

The event, proudly sponsored by DMI Fire and Security, a company well-known for its commitment to corporate social responsibility, highlighted the growing importance of grassroots fundraising initiatives in today’s challenging economic climate.

As traditional funding sources tighten and competition for grants increases, events like Kirkhill’s annual charity fundraiser have become essential lifelines for many charitable organisations.  In recent years, the charity fundraising landscape has undergone a significant transformation. Shrinking public sector budgets and rising costs of living have placed unprecedented strain on many non-profits. Against this backdrop, community-driven initiatives such as Kirkhill’s golf day offer both immediate financial relief and renewed public awareness.

Douglas McFarlane, club captain from Kirkhill Golf Club, said: “Fundraising events like this are not just about the money - they’re about building relationships and reminding people that small communities can make a big impact. We’re proud to support both Beatson Cancer Charity and Lintel Trust, and to show what’s possible when people come together for a cause.”

The proceeds will provide a significant cash injection to Lintel Trust’s Small Grant Fund, which supports community-led housing projects and services that improve the quality of life for vulnerable people.  This funding will allow Lintel to extend its reach and provide critical support to projects that often struggle to find backing.

Meanwhile, Beatson Cancer Charity, one of Scotland’s leading cancer support organisations, will use its share of the funds to continue its vital work, which includes patient care, cancer research, and support for families affected by the disease.

Both charities wish to express their sincerest thanks to everyone involved in making the day such a success.

Representatives from Lintel Trust and Beatson Cancer Charity added: “We are truly grateful to Kirkhill Golf Club, DMI Fire and Security, all the sponsors, volunteers, and players whose generosity and enthusiasm made this event possible. As charities working to support vulnerable individuals and families, events like this have a direct and lasting impact. The support shown on the day was overwhelming, and we cannot thank you enough.”

Central to the event’s success was DMI Fire and Security, the main sponsor, whose dedication to charitable giving helped elevate the event to new heights. DMI’s involvement exemplifies the increasingly crucial role that businesses can play in strengthening local communities and addressing wider social issues.

The club also expressed its gratitude to additional sponsors Galliford Try and AS Scaffolding as well as every player, donor, and volunteer who contributed to the day’s success.
