A Charity Clay Pigeon Shoot at Ollerton Grange, Knutsford, was held for the very first time in June.
We were thrilled to be nominated as one of the beneficiaries by former NMC Trustee, Spirit of Christmas main sponsor and long term supporter, Eddie Sands of Scan Mobility.
The Ollerton Grange Charity Clay Shoot was attended by generous supporters and friends of Salford businessman Ged Mason OBE. The event was held at Ged’s stunning Cheshire estate and proceeds from the day were split between us and Seashell Trust; a disability charity in Stockport.
Attendees included our President Matthew Kelly, who gave a wonderful speech about the work we do, jockey Paul Nicholls, ex-England and Sale Sharks player Mark Cueto, and ex-England rugby player Paul Sackey.
Ged, who is Seashell’s President, said:
This was the first event we’ve done and it was incredibly well-supported. The two organisations we have supported carry out life-changing work, supporting individuals and families with care, opportunity and independence. Both do incredible work in the local community and it was a privilege to fundraise for them with this shoot.
“It’s been amazing to raise this amount of money, which will be split equally between the two charities, and hopefully we can continue to build on this in future.
The event raised a staggering £150,000, making it our most successful Fundraising event to date! We would like to thank Ged Mason OBE, Eddie Sands, Matthew Kelly, Seashell Trust and everyone involved in organising such a brilliant event.
