Around 80 golfers will be hoping to score a hole in one when they take to the tee at a Sutton Coldfield golf club next month by raising vital funds for elderly care wards at a Birmingham Hospital.

The charity golf match at Wishaw Golf Club on Wednesday 1 April will see all money raised go directly to helping elderly patients at  Heartlands Hospital, part of the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.

Clive Conroy works as a physiotherapist at Heartlands and has helped to organise the event at the club where he is a member.

He said: “It is fantastic that the club has agreed to put this event on to raise money for the elderly care wards at Heartlands. All the money raised will be used to directly benefit the patients and enhance their stay on the wards.”

Prizes will be presented to the winners by the Matron of Elderly Care at Heartlands Helen Seymour and Ward 30 manager Ryanne Musgni.

Anyone who would like donate to the cause or any businesses who like to sponsor the event can contact Clive on 07812 245304.
