Selco charity golf day raises £11,000 for Cancer Research

Selco Builders Warehouse’s Swansea branch has announced it has raised £11,000 for Cancer Research UK, in a charity golf day.

Jason Delaney, deputy branch manager at Selco Swansea on Upper Forest Way organised the event, it saw 80 players attend – all with the aim of raising money for charity.

Delaney said: “I’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone who attended our golf day, as well as those who supported in other ways such as sponsoring holes and donating prizes.

“It was a brilliant, sunny day with some top golf on show – as well as one or two wayward shots.

“To raise such a huge amount of money for a great cause is really pleasing. The tireless work of Cancer Research UK makes a tremendous difference to people with cancer and their families so to play a part in supporting their efforts is a real honour.”

The money raised means Selco has contributed almost £100,000 to Cancer Research UK in 2023 alone, on top of the £200,000 donated to the charity last year.

All money raised will help Cancer Research UK’s studies into the prevention and treatment of cancer through the work of over 4,000 doctors, nurses and scientists.
