IoD Scotland Charity Golf Day 2025 – Team Texas Scramble Golf competition to raise money for Committed to Ending Abuse (CEA) – Friday 26th September 2025

Catherine Bradbrook is raising money for CEA Committed to Ended Abuse
Committed to Ending Abuse (CEA) was established in 1976 as Falkirk and District Women’s Aid. In the last forty five years our organisation has grown from strength to strength responding to changing social, political and economic climates and adapting our services to reflect changing needs.  Domestic Abuse as (Gender based abuse) can be perpetrated by partners and ex partners and can include  Physical abuse (assault and physical attack including a range of behaviours)  Sexual abuse (acts which degrade and humiliate women and are perpetrated against their will including rape)  Mental and emotional abuse ( such as threats, verbal abuse, racial abuse, withholding money and other types of controlling behaviour such as isolation from family and friends) Our new name reflects our aims and our vision to become gender neutral and more inclusive for everyone, including men. As a reflection of our good practice, CEA has been awarded with Safe Lives Leading Lights status, which is the mark of quality for domestic abuse services. CEA has also fostered links with various organisations such as AMIS (Abused Men in Scotland) that addresses the gap in service provision for abused men in Scotland. Our vision incorporates The Three-Stage Trauma Recovery Model developed by Dr Judith Herman (Herman, J 1992), promoting recovery from traumatic experiences.

Story

Texas Scramble is the most fun form of golf! Get your challenge team together to have fun, meet fellow directors – maybe win – and most importantly, raise critical funds to help support CEA’s vital work.

This event will take place on Friday 26th September.

Donation amounts:

Member bought team of 4 (at least one player must be a member of the IoD): £350

Non-member team of 4: £450

Individual IOD member: £100

Individual non-member: £150

We want this to be an inclusive event, so our guide prices are suggested amounts, however we do not want the cost to be prohibitive. Therefore, we have a minimum price of £45 per person to cover costs, but please pay what you feel is appropriate - the more you pay, the more goes directly to our chosen charity, CEA.

Arrive at 11 am for breakfast rolls, teas and coffees. For individual entrants, you will get introduced to your fellow team members, and we will run through the format and rules – and which holes have the important “longest drive” and “nearest the pin” prizes.

First groups tee off at 12.10, with the final group teeing off at 12.50, so we expect all to be back in the clubhouse for 5.00/5.15 where we will have drinks and award the prizes!

We raised £2,500 for the charity last year – let’s see what we can raise this year!

A great way to start the weekend, and help give something back to a most worthy cause.

The event is sponsored by AHEAD BUSINESS CONSULTING who are picking up all costs, so that 100% of your money goes to the charity.

Please contact neil.bradbrook@abc.business if you have any questions.
