Forget Me Not Children's Hospice welcome Pinnacle Group Facilities Management as Platinum Partners after £18,000 golf event

It was ‘par-tee’ time at Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice on Thursday 5th October as Ken Davy, President of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice Platinum Partners presented a Platinum Partner Plaque to Sean Hancock, Regional Operations Manager from the Morley Office of Pinnacle Group Facilities Management .

Pinnacle Group Facilities Management raised £18,041 for the Huddersfield based children’s hospice at a charity golf event at Fixby Golf Club on Friday 8th September 2023.

Sean Hancock, Regional Operations Manager from the Morley Office of Pinnacle Group Facilities Management said “We started working with Forget Me Not about 5 years ago. After we’d done a couple of initiatives with them, they invited us for a tour of the hospice. Once we saw the brilliant work they do there and met the staff we wanted to keep doing more. This year we wanted to take it one step further and we thought of a golf day at Huddersfield Golf Club. We engaged with our supply chain and 20 of our contractors jumped in to support the day. We were aiming to raise £10,000 but we ended up raising over £18,000. We’ll go again next year and try and do the same and continue in a long-term relationship with Forget Me Not. Although it’s Pinnacle Group that’s set up the event, it’s actually our supply chain that’s come together for a common cause. It’s such a wonderful facility at Forget Me Not, people just wanted to get on board with us. “

90 golfers came to Pinnacle Group’s golf day, taking part in a Beat the Pro Challenge, 4-ball Team Event, Nearest the Pins, Raffle and a Silent Auction, followed by a meal and comedy by Les Gibson, a semi-finalist from Britain’s Got Talent.

Ken Davy, President of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice Platinum Partners said,

‘All of us At Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice are delighted that Pinnacle Group have decided to join our Platinum Partnership and would like to thank them for their generous support. We look forward to building on the strong relationship we have developed with them so that together we can further support children with life shortening conditions and their families.’
