We are thrilled to share that Berkhamsted Golf Club’s Seniors Invitation Day raised approximately £2,500 for Dacorum Community Trust, as the chosen charity of Seniors Captain Mark Miles for the 2025–2026 year. As the beneficiaries of such generous efforts, we could not be more grateful.
Members of the Trust team were delighted to attend and be part of such a warm and welcoming occasion. Our colleagues Rosemary and Barbara were pleased to join the morning welcome committee, greeting players as they arrived, while our Chair Tony, trustee Geoff, and Trust Manager Dena joined the players later for lunch. The hospitality throughout the day was wonderful, and everyone from the Trust was made to feel genuinely welcome.
Tony Williams, Chair of Dacorum Community Trust and Geoff Budd, longstanding trustee of Dacorum Community Trust, at Berkhamsted Golf Club’s Seniors Golf Day raffle table, where players had the chance to win some fantastic prizes in aid of the Trust.
Geoff took the opportunity during lunch to speak about the vital and unique role that Dacorum Community Trust plays in supporting local residents who are facing financial hardship and have nowhere else to turn. Our clients include individuals and families who have experienced homelessness, domestic violence, relationship breakdown, mental or physical ill-health, or other circumstances of extreme poverty. We respond quickly to immediate crises, whilst signposting clients with more complex needs to other local organisations for ongoing support.
We provide help with essential household items such as beds, bedding, and large and small white goods, as well as energy, supermarket, and clothing vouchers. To give a sense of what your support means in practice:
£15 will pay for a kettle or toaster
£20 will pay for transport to a hospital visit or job interview
£50 will pay for a supermarket, energy, or clothing voucher
£200–£250 will pay for a fridge freezer or washing machine
These are the everyday items and small sums of money that most of us take for granted, but which can make an enormous difference to someone at their most vulnerable.
Thank you to Mark, to all the players, and to everyone at Berkhamsted Golf Club for your generosity, your warm welcome, and for choosing Dacorum Community Trust as your charity. We are truly grateful.
