Press release January 5th, 2010 Sikh Golf Society helps homeless charity in Slough
The recently formed Sikh Golf Society of Great Britain prepared and served hand made meals for the homeless community in Slough during the Christmas break. The Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC) is a local charity which caters for the homeless community in Slough and allowed the Sikh Golf Society to take over for the day. Over 50 meals were served at lunchtime yesterday by the golfers and their partners.
The Sikh golf society is a group of golfers who initially raised funds for the Khalsa Primary School in Slough and recently has supported an eye camp project.
“We are delighted to be of service to the homeless community in Slough and hope that we can continue to support them in the future. Our society raises funds to be spent on worthwhile projects both for the local and international community. We have over 200 golfers who join us at our events throughout the year. We would also like to mention our main sponsors The Royal Bank of Scotland who have supported us in our events” said Jas Hothi Chairman of the Sikh Golf Society.
The golf day was positively enjoyed by the children and combined teaching and education with fun innovative activities and games in a safe and secure environment. The day involved a range of putting, chipping and pitching games and activities. The day encourages and motivates children through the achievement of challenges and targets combined with rewards and the most important element-FUN.
As a follow up, the Sikh Golf Society is sponsoring a series of 6 lessons which will be held at the local Wexham Park Golf club and run by the local professionals. The total cost of the training is £30 per child which the Sikh Golf Society will be paying.
“We are delighted to support the children and encourage them to participate in Golf. We are hoping that in a few years time we will have helped a few children to become professionals and inspiration for all children. We would like to thank S-Cool Golf days for there support as well as our major sponsors The Royal Bank of Scotland and ROK plc who have supported us to do these worthwhile projects” said Jas Hothi Chairman of the Sikh Golf Society.
