Goswick Golf Links has continued to share it success with the local community – boosting its Community Grant Programme in its second year following continued visitor revenue growth.
This club has announced that 13 local charitable organisations will receive a share of a £5,700 fund, which is comprised of a percentage of the visitor green fees it collects during its fiscal year ending in September. In 2022, the first programme saw seven grants awarded, totalling £3,500.
This year’s recipients include Berwick Bowling Club, Berwick Hockey Club, Berwick Literary Festival, Berwick Male Voice Choir, Berwick Rangers Juniors, Berwick Youth Project, Border Links, Brain Box, Bowsden Village Hall, Scremerston Knit and Natter, Tweedmouth Community FC, Tweed Salmon Queen and Tweed Triathlon Club.
To be eligible for consideration, the applicants needed to demonstrate a sustained commitment to some or all of the following priorities: the development of young people; the protection, improvement and sustainability of the local environment; participation in golf and other sporting or recreational activities; arts, culture and local heritage; community health and wellbeing.
