Fourth golf day for Abbott Construction

Abbott Construction held its annual golf day at Chestfield Golf Club in Chestfield, Kent in aid of Demelza.

It is the fourth year running that the construction company, which built Demelza's new hospice in Eltham, has held the event.

This year 24 local companies took part and £5,000 was raised. More than £20,000 has been raised in total over the past few years from golf days.

Paul Abbott, Managing Director of S.T. Abbott Ltd said: 'We are always delighted to be involved in such a wonderful charity as Demelza, in the care they provide for those families less fortunate than ourselves.

'On behalf of all the teams that took part today we would like to thank Demelza for all the kindness and compassion and for the wonderful work you do.

'On behalf of S.T. Abbott Ltd I would like to thank all the teams for their time and generosity and would hope to see you again next year.'

Ted Gladdish, Chief Executive of Demelza said: 'I would like to thank Abbott's for their continued support.

'I would like to give a special thank you to Phil Hughes for his organisation of this event but also his sterling work on the building works at Eltham.

'The hospice is now a functioning unit and all the members of staff are delighted with the new building.

'On behalf of all our children and families I would like to say thank you to everyone who organised and took part in this event for their generosity and support.'
