Look Ahead would like to thank our partners at AD Construction Group for organising a fundraising golf day in support of our work as part of their social value commitments.

The total raised on the day in donations and pledges was an impressive £7,280, and we are excited to put this towards our important work supporting people with a variety of needs across London and the South East.

AD Construction Group's Chief Executive Steve Doyle welcoming golfers from various consultants and clients to the event.

On the day, our staff were delighted to gather at Pyrford Golf Club in Woking, to tee off with colleagues from the AD team, their clients and consultants, as well as players from our other partners including Orange Peel, 1st Stop Property Solutions, Faithorn Farrell Timms and Chas Berger. A total of 14 teams took part in the competition altogether.

The golfers got off to a good start after a hearty breakfast, enjoying the club’s lakes and beautiful grounds as they played, they didn’t let a brief thunderstorm dampen their spirits either!

With a morning and afternoon of golf rounds under their belts, the teams came together to enjoy a meal and a raffle afterwards.

After a great day out, both the team and individual winners were announced. The highest scoring team was Vision Doors & Windows at 93, whose teammate Neville Miller also took the top spot, brining in the best individual score of 45.

The runner up team was led by AD Construction Group’s very own Managing Director Aaron Mitchell with a very close 91. Meanwhile David Francis from AD’s client Sutton Housing Partnership came in second with an individual score of 40, in addition to hitting the longest drive of any player taking part.

Kate Bawden, Look Ahead’s Director of Communications and Fundraising said:

“Look Ahead are deeply grateful to AD Construction Group for all their effort organising this fantastic event. We would also like to thank everyone who supported the day whether as sponsors, raffle prize donors, or participants in the competition. Events like these provide vital funds for an organisation like ours and help us to improve the quality of life of the people we support. Thank you.”
