Vistry’s golf day in Broxbourne raises £40,000 for armed forces charity

The fundraiser, at The Hertfordshire Golf and Country Club, in Broxbourne, took place in aid of Vistry’s chosen charity for 2024 – SSAFA, The Armed Forces charity.

Vistry Central Home Counties hosted the event on Friday 13 September and invited its own staff as well as contractors and suppliers to take part.

Verity MacMahon, managing director of Vistry Central Home Counties, who delivered a welcome speech to open the event, said: “It was a very enjoyable day and a great way to support our chosen charity for the year, SSAFA.

“The charity makes a huge difference to the lives of serving and former military personnel and their families. They may face issues such as addiction, homelessness, post-traumatic stress, disability and many other difficulties, and SSAFA is there for them.

“Keen golfers among our staff and supply chain thoroughly enjoyed the event and there were plenty of opportunities for everyone to socialise and get to know each other better outside the usual working day routine.”

Around 104 golfers took part in the competition, which was followed by drinks, a barbecue, trophy presentation, raffle and an auction.

Vistry Central Home Counties is based in Broxbourne and is currently building homes at locations in Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Buckinghamshire. It is part of Vistry Group, which includes Bovis Homes, Linden Homes and Countryside Homes.
