In pictures: golf day raises thousands of pounds for Wigan organisation helping families

Golfers scored a hole-in-one when they took to the fairway to support a Wigan organisation.

Property marketing firm Lens Media held a fund-raising day at Dean Wood Golf Club, in Up Holland, to support Daffodils Dreams.

It raised £5,000 through golf registrations, bunker challenges, a raffle and donations.

The money will be used by Daffodils Dreams to provide essential items for Wigan families struggling to make ends meet, as well as positive life experiences such as days out.

Karen Strong, volunteer director at Daffodils Dreams, said: “It was a joy to share our mission with new friends who came from near and far, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to showcase the impact DD has in our community.

"Thank you, Joe Howarth, for your unwavering dedication and the Lens Media team for making yesterday a day filled with sunshine, delicious pies and most importantly, a whole lot of goodwill. We can't wait to continue our journey together.”
