The funds raised will play a vital role in supporting Heartbeat’s work across the North West, helping more than 1,000 people through prevention and rehabilitation programmes, as well as providing education, encouragement and social support that are essential to long term recovery and wellbeing.

Anne’s efforts have not only raised a significant amount of money but have also brought members together around a shared cause, highlighting the strong sense of community at Ashton and Lea Golf Club.

On behalf of the club and Heartbeat, a sincere thank you goes to Lady Captain Anne Graham for her outstanding leadership and dedication, and to all members who supported her throughout the year. This achievement is a true reflection of Anne’s impact and the generosity of the Ashton and Lea community.

Rugby Raffle Supporting Heartbeat

As part of the ongoing fundraising, members and supporters are also being encouraged to take part in a special rugby raffle in support of Heartbeat. World rugby legend Johnny Sexton has very kindly donated a pair of his exclusive, personalised Adidas rugby boots, making this a truly unique prize for any rugby fan or collector.

Raffle tickets are £10 each, with entries available online via TryBooking. The raffle closes on Thursday 12th March at 11pm, with the winner announced during Ireland’s final Six Nations match on Saturday 14th March.

This raffle is another fantastic way to support Anne’s chosen charity while being in with a chance to win a genuine piece of rugby history.
