Maggie’s Highlands’ annual Golf Day and Gala Dinner took place recently and delighted organisers are cock-a-hoop after it generated more than £125,000 – a record total.

Ninety-six golfers took part in the golf, which was held once again at the prestigious and stunning Cabot Highlands course at Castle Stuart, and more than 200 guests attended the black-tie dinner at the Drumossie Hotel.

Andrew Benjamin, fundraising manager at Maggie’s Highlands, said: “We would like to thank every business and individual who helped make this the most successful golf day to date. We would like to add special thanks to our headline sponsor Orion Group for their incredible ongoing support”.

Paul Savage, managing director at Orion Group, added: “Maggie’s Highlands is a fantastic charity. They play a vital role in supporting the local community and have had such a positive impact on so many peoples’ lives across the region.

“We’re delighted to sponsor this amazing event and well done to everyone involved in making this year’s fundraiser a huge success."

The money raised will enable Maggie’s Highlands to continue to support people and families living with cancer across the Highlands & Islands. And the charity said that news on plans for next year’s event are already in the works, with details to follow soon.

Maggie’s Highlands is based at Raigmore Hospital and provides free support and advice to people living with cancer, and their family and friends.

Anyone can visit the centre, no appointments are necessary, and the team can help with anything from treatment options, side effects, worries about money and psychological support.

Maggie’s staff include psychologists, cancer support specialists and benefits advisors. For more details visit Maggies.org.
