We were thrilled to be back at Worplesdon Golf Club on Thursday 8 May for the charity’s Annual Golf Day.

Organised with the help of supporter, Sue Stradling, and her son Ewan, the competition has been held in aid of the charity for over 30 years.

The weather was kind to us as the players headed out onto the stunning Worplesdon Golf Course to play 18 holes of four ball better ball.

The competition was followed by a delicious buffet lunch after which prizes were awarded and Andy Cook, CEO of Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity, gave a short speech.

We were thrilled to be joined by members of the Arkell family and many congratulations go to Charlie Gotke (Helen Arkell’s great grandson) and Jamie Bourne who won the competition, taking home the silver salver.

Huge thanks to all the players for taking part and for their many generous donations. The day raised a fantastic £8,800 which will enable us to support many more children, young people and adults with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. Thank you so much for helping us to achieve this.
