Golf Fore CIC
“Golfing in memory of”
Golf Fore is a Gloucestershire community organisation that uses golf to support people who have lost someone. Through social golf, shared challenges and charity events, we help the bereaved return to physical activity and spend time with others who understand. No golfing experience is needed.
What we do for Stroud customers
We help people in and around Stroud who have been bereaved to get outside, get active and meet others in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. We use golf as the way in, through social sessions, challenges and charity events. You don’t need to be a golfer, and you don’t need to talk about your loss unless you want to.
How we started
Golf Fore began because of the loss of my Mum, A cancer diagnosis attacks you twice, - The very first time you hear those words, and then the second time when you are told that there is no more you can do for your loved one. When we received this news I ended up developing a heart condition and ended up given up on Football and needed something that could help me stay active and fin a release in nature. Since then we’ve worked with Sue Ryder's, Leckhampton Court Hospice in our very first event - the charity who cared for my mum, and the aim has stayed the same: to help all people take that first step back into activity,
