Fleur sponsors 17th tee at charity event.

October 3, 2021

Brancaster: Royal West Norfolk Golf Club was the scene for a charity Golf Day on 17th September 2021 in aid of Thornage Hall Independent Living to raise funds that will be designated to support the construction of an additional supported living facility, Orchard Lodge.

It was a very successful event raising nearly £100,000 for Thornage Hall Charity and Fleur Homes are very pleased that our tee sign was ‘best in class’ on the day.

Based in the heart of North Norfolk, just five minutes drive from Holt, the charity provides supported living for 27 adults, each of whom holds individual tenancies. Support is on hand to ensure that they can live as independently as possible and that they can pursue working and learning activities of their choosing. A further 30 adults also travel to the site each week to take part in these activities.

A 70-acre biodynamic farm and garden provide real working environments, as do workshops in baking, weaving, woodwork, IT, arts, crafts and music. As part of their 30th-year celebrations, the charity has launched a £1m appeal to build Orchard Lodge, four fully accessible accommodation units with en suite bathrooms, a shared kitchen, dining, and living room facilities. In addition, there will be sleep in accommodation for carers to provide 24/7 care for the tenants as required.

Build costs are estimated at £1,000,000 and trustees expect to set aside a reserve fund in the region of £200,000 subject to reconciliation of the 2018-2019 accounts. All funds raised through the 2021 Royal West Norfolk Golf Club dinner and golf day will go towards the development of this important facility.
