In an admirable initiative, Captain of Walmley Golf Club, Alan Elton, has designated Wilson Stuart School as this year’s charity beneficiary.
This decision is particularly significant to Alan, whose grandson, Barney, attends the school. The Elton family’s commitment to giving back to the school stems from their desire to enhance resources and opportunities for all students at Wilson Stuart.
Following the inaugural fundraiser held at the club, Executive Headteacher Simon Harris, accompanied by Barney, recently attended Walmley Golf Club to accept a cheque for £500.
Expressing gratitude on behalf of the school, Simon remarked: “We are extremely thankful to Walmley Golf Club for choosing us as this year’s charity. We will ensure that the money raised provides students with the best possible opportunities to succeed.
“This generosity is a testament to the hard work and commitment that our staff put into providing students with a high-quality education, as well as the recognition this receives from families and the local community.”
The funds raised will undoubtedly make a meaningful impact, reinforcing the vital partnership between school and community organisations, which ultimately benefits all involved.
