92 golfers took part in the tournament on Kinross Golf Club’s Bruce Course, with teams of four from a variety of local companies competing for a host of top prizes.

After the scores were added up, it was Merchant City Distributors who topped the leaderboard and secured the first prize of a round of golf for four at Nairn Golf Club.

Earlier this year, staff at Persimmon’s North Scotland office selected CHAS as its charity of the year for the second time and committed to organising a range of fundraising activities throughout the year. The team at the homebuilder’s Perth headquarters have set their sights on raising more money than last year after a grand total of £38,000 was donated to CHAS in December 2023.

As well as supporting the charity’s ongoing work across Scotland, the funds raised by Persimmon staff will directly benefit Rachel House Children’s Hospice in Kinross. The facility on Avenue Road has a range of facilities, including a hydrotherapy room, large accessible gardens and space for both relaxation and fun for families.

James MacKay, managing director of Persimmon North Scotland, said: “We’re proud to be supporting CHAS again this year and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part, made a donation or gifted prizes to support our golf day.

“We all know how important the support that CHAS provides is to many families and we’re looking forward to holding more events later in the year – including our first ever charity ball next month – which will hopefully help us to beat last year’s total.”
