The President of Verwood Rotary Club, Stephen Maycock (pictured centre) chose the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation as his recipient 'Charity of the Year' and presented the JTYAF with a cheque for a fantastic £2200.

JTYAF Chairman Pete Thornton (above right) and Trustee Maurice Patterson OBE, (above left) were invited to the Verwood Rotary Club Annual Dinner where the presentation was made and were overwhelmed to receive such a large amount.

The funds were raised through various activities, the main event being a Golf Day at Crane Valley Golf Club which was a fantastic day and a tremendous success.

The JTYAF would like to thank the members of Verwood Rotary Club for all the work that went into raising this fantastic donation. It was an absolute pleasure to be involved with such a friendly bunch and work together for the benefit of local young people.
