Story
The 8th annual Scores for Schools golf day will take place on 6th October 2023 at West Essex Golf Club. Over the last seven years - and despite some terrible amateur golf in wind, rain and occasional sunshine - we've raised funds to support more than 120 children in rural Sri Lanka to benefit from Hela Sarana's education bursary.
Sri Lanka continues to be in a major economic crisis; resulting in food, fuel and medicine shortages and disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable communities as the government has no funds to offer a safety net. In 2023, more than 40% of under-5s have some form of undernutrition and 30% of the country's population are food insecure.
Charities like Hela Sarana are attempting to address these problems. Run by volunteers in the UK and Sri Lanka, the charity delivers a range of effective projects which we have seen first hand, including medical aid and an education programme which has now supported more than 600 children.
Thanks so much for your support, please give what you can.
