A day of golf in aid of a Wirral charity helping children with cerebral palsy will take place next month.

Taking place at Pryors Hayes Golf Club in Cheshire on Monday, May 6, the four ball team event now is in its 19th year raises funds for Stick 'n' Step and is open to all and for all levels of ability.

On the day, there will be a barbecue and evening entertainment for all participants and is suitable for all the family.

There will be a number of competitions during the day, including the ever-popular ‘hole in one’ contest, with a prize of a motor bike. Hole sponsorship for each of the 18 holes is also available for any interested companies.

More than than 150 golfers took part in the event last year, raising more than £26,000 for the charity.

Among them were sporting stars including footballing legends Derek Mountfield, Arthur Albiston, Stuart Pearson, Alex Stepney, Robbie Fowler, Frank Stapleton and Alan McInally. The winning team was led by Paul Rawlinson.

The charity's interim chief executive, Sarah Smithson, said after last year's event: "Every year we are bowled over by the wonderful support we receive from everyone involved in this remarkable event.

"I would like to say a very big thank you once more to everyone who took part to help us fundraise for the amazing children, who attend our centres, and their families."

Stick ‘n’ Step provides free weekly conductive education sessions to children and young people with cerebral palsy up to the age of 25, allowing them to gain the skills they need to live more independent lives.

The charity relies on supporters and volunteers to help raise the £750,000 required to deliver its services to over 100 families each year at its Wallasey and Runcorn centres. Find out more about the charity by visiting www.sticknstep.org.

Established 21 years ago, Stick ‘n’ Step exists to provide conductive education in order to “enable, inspire and support children with cerebral palsy and their families”. 

The charity’s support improves mobility and independence and boosts self-confidence, enabling every child to reach their personal potential.
