Fine & Country Foundation Nears £1 Million Fundraising Milestone with Golf Day Success

The Fine & Country Foundation is on the brink of a monumental achievement, having nearly reached £1 million in funds raised since its inception in 2014. This milestone, achieved through the dedication of Fine & Country members and the generosity of the public, highlights the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to combating poverty and homelessness.

In July, members of Fine & Country gathered at Leamington & County Golf Club for a day of sporting fun under the sun, all in support of The Fine & Country Foundation. The event, organised by Jon Handford, a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Director of Fine & Country in the Midlands, brought together colleagues and friends with a shared goal: to raise vital funds. Handford, who has consistently donated £100 from every property completion and undertaken numerous challenges to support the cause, emphasised the importance of giving back to the community commenting, “Thank you to everyone who contributed to the £2,075 raised from the golf day, these funds have been donated to The Foundation and have will support our mission to reach £1 million raised. This money will be granted to Helping Hands, a local charity we are proud to support.”

Jon Cooke, Trustee of the Fine & Country Foundation, expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support from the network and the public. "The donations and grants that the Foundation provides are essential in supporting many organisations committed to making their communities a better place. Without the incredible effort and generosity of the Fine & Country network and the public, we would not be able to reach this milestone."

Since its inception, The Fine & Country Foundation has provided critical financial aid to numerous charitable organisations through its biannual grant scheme and other donations. Fundraising initiatives have included marathons, Tough Mudders, Sleep-Out events, mountain climbs, skydives, and more. These diverse efforts demonstrate the power of community and collective action in driving change.

As the Fine & Country Foundation approaches its £1 million fundraising milestone, it remains steadfast in its commitment to continuing this vital work. The Foundation encourages others to join in supporting local charities and making a positive difference in their communities.
