Hertfordshire contractor raises £25k to support local causes

Hertfordshire-based main contractor Pexhurst recently raised more than £25,000 for its charitable trust through the success of two golf events involving clients and its valued supply chain partners.  

The Pexhurst Charitable Trust (PCT) operates across the Home Counties providing support for causes including hospices, schools, individuals facing ill health and individuals facing socio-economic challenges. Ahead of its next funding application deadline on 31 October, the recent events have further strengthened the trust’s ability to make a difference, building on its support for five different causes since its inception in 2025.  

Pexhurst hosted clients at Stoke Park for its seventh annual charity golf day, bringing together over 80 building surveyors, project managers and asset managers from across the Midlands, Home Counties and South East.  

This event was followed by almost 100 of Pexhurst’s supply chain partners – many of which the contractor has been working with for more than 20 years – taking on The Hertfordshire Golf & Country Club. Raising more than £22,000 on the day, this milestone amount marked the most successful fundraising event led by the charitable trust to date.  

Kayla Vella, senior client relationship and marketing manager, and PCT trustee, at Pexhurst, said: “As we approach Pexhurst’s 50th anniversary in 2027, we’re extremely proud that the charitable trust continues to support worthy causes across the Home Counties. The huge amount of money raised at our recent golf events with our team, clients and our valued supply chain partners makes us incredibly proud and will go towards not only supporting organisations and charities, but also individuals in the communities that Pexhurst has operated in since 1977. 

“Having already supported five different causes and distributed £15,000 in the trust’s first year, my fellow trustee Rosy Vella and I are excited to review new applications after our next deadline on 31 October. From £1 to £1,000 donations, everyone that has supported the success of recent events is to thank for the positive differences and impact that will be made when applications are processed and new relationships are forged with the local communities.”  

Successful applications for support from the Pexhurst Charitable Trust have so far included Greenside SEND School, National Autistic Society, Isabel Hospice, East & North Hertfordshire Hospital Charity and Keech Hospice.
