FPUA Events
We proudly report that the FPUA has raised over £80,000 for local causes over the last seven years.
As part of the Association’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the local community, our flagship fundraising events – the Golf Day and Christmas Charity Ball -remain at the heart of our charitable efforts. These much-anticipated occasions continue to thrive thanks to the remarkable generosity and unwavering support of our members.
In 2023, despite the continued geopolitical and economic challenges facing businesses, we proudly announced that a combined total of £14,000 was raised at the Christmas Charity Ball and 2024 Golf Day. Building on that success, our record-breaking 2025 Golf Day in May raised an outstanding £13,000 for our chosen charities.
This incredible achievement once again reflects the dedication, kindness, and community spirit of our members, who consistently go above and beyond to support those in need.
A sincere thank you goes to everyone who participated in, attended, or supported these events – your enthusiasm and generosity make all the difference.
Since Jason began his tenure as Chairman in 2017, the Association has raised an exceptional £80,930 for charitable causes. This milestone is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together as a community.
We look forward to continuing this proud tradition of giving and hope to see many of you at our future events.
