The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF), which was selected as Charity of the Year for 2020 by all three Captains at Crane Valley Golf Club, has received a £5000 donation.

The usual fundraising events and activities were impossible due to the restrictions, but the club was able to hold a Captain’s Charity Day and a Captain’s Charity Fun Day between lockdowns.

Pete Thornton, JTYAF chairman, commented, “We are so grateful to Crane Valley Golf Club and all their members.  But special thanks must go to the ladies captain, Shani Bancroft, men’s captain, John Astley and the senior’s captain, Paul Rowbottom. This was an incredible achievement, and we can’t thank them enough.  It will make a huge difference to a great many local young people in the year ahead.”

All three Captains have again chosen John’s Foundation as their charity of support for 2021.
