Driving Social Mobility on the Green: Our Annual Urban Synergy Charity Golf Day Fundraiser has successfully concluded. Held at the prestigious Seve Ballesteros-designed course at The Shire, the event brought together a mix of businesses, corporate partners, and supporters for a memorable day of inclusive networking, collaboration, and critical fundraising in support of Urban Synergy's youth empowerment programmes.

We raised approximately £40,000 that will help strengthen and grow our programmes, increasing social mobility for young people. At a time when youth employment is at a record high these funds are crucial to keep young people motivated and on track to navigate pathways to secure professional careers

“With youth unemployment posing an unprecedented challenge, it is inspiring to see our long-standing partners and supporters unite around a mission that permanently transforms lives. Events like this show the real power of collaboration not just on the day but following the event taking action to support young people to reach their full potential” — Leila Thomas Urban Synergy Founder & CEO

On the course and beyond

Throughout the day, teams enjoyed a competitive but friendly round of golf, with plenty of standout moments on the fairways. The “Beat the Pro” challenge proved a major highlight, drawing excitement and some impressive attempts from players taking on the professionals.

Off the course, guests took part in a live auction and raffle featuring exclusive prizes, including a swing analysis experience with Ian Poulter, a signed Liverpool FC Champions League photo, and a Sir Mo Farah signed t-shirt. The atmosphere throughout the event reflected a strong sense of community, purpose, and shared commitment to supporting young people.

Reflections from the day

The day brought together alumni, sponsors, and supporters, all contributing to an incredible atmosphere and shared sense of purpose.

Looking ahead to next year

This year’s Charity Golf Day Fundraiser once again demonstrated the power of businesses and supporters coming together for a shared purpose—supporting the mission of Urban Synergy to empower young people and create meaningful opportunities.

Planning is already underway for next year’s event, and we would love to welcome both returning and new teams to be part of it.
