When Maurice Wilbraham agreed to be Macclesfield Circle President he realised it would be a busy year with his wife, Fran, also becoming the Ladies Captain at Macclesfield Golf Club. Both the Ladies Captain and Circle President choose a charity to support for the their year and Maurice and Fran both chose MY CWA, a local Cheshire charity, supporting victims of abuse.
Fran’s year as Ladies Captain ended in February enabling her to be the first to present the charity with a cheque for £4560.
MY CWA thanked Fran and the Club for the generous donation. They stressed that funding had been difficult in the past year as the cost of living put pressure on individual donors and local authorities were cutting back on awarding grants. The cheque would enable them to continue the work of supporting those their charities helped.
Responding Fran thanked golf club members for their generosity in donating to the Captains’ charities which it had been a privilege to nominate and support.
A similar amount was raised by the Men’s Captain for his nominated charity, Just Drop In, supporting young people, the establishment of which was the Millennium project of Churches Together in Macclesfield.
