20th Anniversary Ball and Golf Day Success

EVENT RAISES £12,000..!

Main Sponsors – Easton Residential, David Mellor Jewellers and Peter Cooper Motor Group

For its charity golf day and Gala night The Geoff Smith Foundation has raised an amazing £12,000 - vital funds for local people with Multiple Sclerosis. The day was a great success with a good day's golf and fun and frivolity at the gala ball that evening. Guests were wined and dined in style and entertained by top comedians and local band Rufus Stone. The date for next year's ball has been set and more information can be found on the events page. 

 

In 2017, the Foundation is celebrating it’s 20th Year, and the event was a way to both fundraise for the charity and also to say a huge Thank you to all those who have been so supportive over two decades.

 The Geoff Smith Foundation was started 20 years ago; the year after Geoff Smith, the Founder was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis: “We have helped hundreds of people with such things as home improvements, to make living in their own homes more accessible, such things as widening doors, so they can manoeuvre their wheelchairs. Gardens have been altered to be wheelchair friendly. Over the years we have bought many electric scooters, special beds, wheelchairs and car ramps, and even special computer equipment to help people that have limited hand and body movement.

After years of fundraising, the charity has raised nearly £950,000.

The charity opened a house in Spain around 14 years ago. The house is open throughout the year for sufferers and their families to have a much-needed rest. We will carry on trying to help the people with this dreadful illness, for as long as we have the support.” Geoff Smith
