The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF) was honoured to be selected as Charity of the Year for 2020 by all three Captains at Crane Valley Golf Club and absolutely delighted to receive an incredible £5000 donation!

To raise such a huge amount during a pandemic is nothing short of amazing and testament to the fantastic support that the charity received from all the members. The usual fundraising events and activities were impossible due to the restrictions, but the club was able to hold a Captain’s Charity Day and a Captain’s Charity Fun Day between lockdowns.

Pete Thornton (JTYAF Chairman) commented, “We are so grateful to Crane Valley Golf Club and all their members. But special thanks must go to the Ladies Captain, Shani Bancroft, Men’s Captain, John Astley and the Senior’s Captain, Paul Rowbottom. This was an incredible achievement, and we can’t thank them enough. It will make a huge difference to a great many local young people in the year ahead.”

All three Captains have again chosen John’s Foundation as their charity of support for 2021 and the JTYAF are looking forward to another year in partnership with this great bunch of people.
