CPS Charity Golf Day 2026: Five Weeks To Go
Published: 30th July 2026
With just five weeks to go until the CPS Charity Golf Day at Mar Hall on Friday, 4th September 2026, preparations are well underway. Team entries continue to come in, sponsorship support has been strong, and fundraising efforts for Blood Bikes Scotland are gathering momentum as we count down to the event.
There are now just five weeks to go until the CPS Charity Golf Day 2026 at Mar Hall on Friday, 4th September 2026. Firstly, thank you to everyone who has already entered a team, sponsored part of the event, donated a raffle prize or supported our fundraising efforts. The response so far has been fantastic and preparations for the day are well underway.
Team Places Available
We currently have 15 teams registered and there is still room for a few more. If you've been thinking about entering a team, there is still time to get involved. Teams of four cost £600 and include breakfast, 18 holes of golf, refreshments throughout the day, a three-course evening dinner and the prize giving.
The golf day is always a good opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends from across community pharmacy while helping raise money for a worthwhile cause.
Sponsorship Opportunities
A huge thank you to the organisations that have already agreed to sponsor this year's event. We still have a small number of sponsorship opportunities available, including sponsorship of the runner-up prize and several hole sponsorships. If your organisation would be interested in supporting the event, please get in touch.
Raffle Prize Donations
We're also looking for raffle prizes to help support our fundraising efforts on the day. If you or your organisation would be willing to donate a prize, we'd be very grateful to hear from you.
Supporting Blood Bikes Scotland
This year we're raising money for Blood Bikes Scotland, our current charity partner. For the first time in the history of the golf day, we've also launched a JustGiving page, giving people another way to support our fundraising efforts, even if they can't attend on the day.
Thank You
The CPS Charity Golf Day has been running for more than a decade and it simply wouldn't happen without the support we receive from across community pharmacy and our industry partners. Thank you again to everyone who has already got involved. We'll share further updates over the coming weeks as we count down to September.
