Anxiety UK works to relieve and support those living with anxiety disorders by providing information, support and understanding via an extensive range of services, including 1:1 therapy, guide booklets, phone and internet chat lines.
They campaign to raise awareness and work regularly with external agencies and healthcare professionals to improve services for those living with anxiety disorders, panic attacks and phobias.
Established in 1970 demand for its services have grown significantly and are likely to grow even more.
Monies raised during the year will amongst other things go towards a locally targeted awareness scheme. The charity has also just started a major initiative aimed at helping those in or just out of higher education.
Please take the time at some point to have a look at their website and see the good work they do.
We know we can reply on your generous support but to help along the way we have decided to re-introduce 2 initiatives and we ask all members to help police them.
Members whose ball lands in any pond or bunker are asked to make a small contribution of 10 pence (or more if you wish) to the charity. Collection tins will be placed in the golf shop and in the club bar.
Secondly, some of you will remember a time where a penalty or fine of £1 was applied when a members mobile phone rang in the bar. Phones can of course be turned to silent or vibrate only mode and subsequently picked up and answered outside the bar.
Therefore, any member whose phone rings or alerts out loud in the bar should be encouraged to pay £1 contribution to the charity (monies to be placed in the collection tin in the bar).
