Charity golf day raises £2,500 for Harrogate Meals on Wheels

Thursday, 1 October 2026 08:27

Golfers taking part in the Harrogate Neighbours annual golf day.

Harrogate Neighbours has raised £2,500 for its Meals on Wheels service at its annual charity golf day.

The not-for-profit care provider welcomed 10 teams of four from businesses across Harrogate and Yorkshire to Wike Ridge Golf Club for the event’s fourth year.

Money raised will support its volunteer-led Meals on Wheels service, which delivers nutritious hot meals to people across the Harrogate community and helps reduce social isolation.

Alongside the golf, players boosted the fundraising through a team ball challenge, a chipping competition and the chance to buy Mulligans, allowing them to retake a shot.

A refreshments buggy also travelled around the course to raise additional funds.

Jamie Nicholson-Ruther, Communication and Development Manager at Harrogate Neighbours, said:

“The annual golf day at Harrogate Neighbours is one of my favourite fundraisers.

"The teams, the laughter, the scores and the community feel all contributed to create a really special atmosphere on the golf course.

“Our fundraisers are important for two main reasons.

"They champion the Harrogate Neighbours cause, and they also help to support our vital community services, like our Meals on Wheels and Community Hub.”

Golfers enjoyed blue skies and improved conditions after battling strong winds at last year’s event.

Andrew Lyndsay, from Edge Office Systems, said:

“A massive thank you to Harrogate Neighbours for organising the event.

“The rain stopped at the perfect time, and a great time was had by all.

"My team loved the course, and although we may not have won, it was certainly the taking part that counted today.

“We were glad to have taken part in aid of your charity and will look forward to next year’s event.”
