A charity golf day and gala dinner at The Mere Golf Resort & Spa raised £80,000 for North West Cancer Research. Organised by Laurence Barrow of Warrington-based Barrow Electrical, the event brought together golfers, businesses and volunteers on Friday 10 July.
Laurence organised the event after his wife, Claire, was diagnosed with a stage two glioma in 2025 and received surgery and treatment at The Walton Centre. The family wanted to thank those who had cared for Claire and help fund research that could benefit other families facing a cancer diagnosis.
An 18-hole golf competition was followed by a gala dinner and auction. Headline sponsors Vanliners, CAMS, Alan C Davies and Jacob & Co were joined by businesses from across the region that contributed sponsorship, donations and prizes.
“This wasn’t just about one golf day. It’s about giving families hope. It’s about funding research. It’s about changing lives,” said Laurence.
Thank you to Laurence, Claire, Barrow Electrical and everyone who played, volunteered, sponsored or donated. The money raised will help fund research into cancer prevention, earlier diagnosis and better treatments across the North West and North Wales.
