About this Event

Is playing 18 holes for charity on a glorious golf course your idea of a perfect afternoon?
After the success of our most recent golf day in September, we would like to invite you along to join us for a great afternoon of entertainment at Penn Golf Club in 2022. The day promises to be either a break away from the office, a good networking opportunity with colleagues, or simply a chance to get back out onto the green with friends. For those who have attended before, you already know what a great day you are booking in for.
Start the day by joining us in the clubhouse for breakfast sandwiches, a hot drink, and a chance to networking and socialise with your team before heading out on a beautiful golf course for 18 holes – all generously sponsored by TRiM Barbershops.
The day will be planned and tailored on the run up to the event in line with all government guidance and restrictions to ensure your safety – however, please be rest assured that Team Haven will still do all that they can to make this an enjoyable day out. We are hoping by this point, and in line with the Government’s Road Map out of lockdown that there will be no restrictions in place and the usual day’s format can resume. We will keep you updated.
Alongside your 18 holes of golf, we plan to host additional mini competitions throughout the day, including nearest the pin and longest drive all for the chance of winning a trophy. After your day on the course, you and your team will come back into the clubhouse for a 2-course post-game meal, a raffle, and evening entertainment (more to be announced soon!). Throughout the day you will be raising vital funds for the women and children supported by The Haven.
Entry is just £65 per person (£260 per team) and teams of up to 4 players.
£50 Corporate Hole Sponsorship packages are also available for those who would like to gain exposure at this event. You will have the opportunity to display a company A board/flag on your chosen hole, a pull-up banner inside the clubhouse throughout the day – visible at registration and during the presentations – and company promotional material in goody bags given out to every golfer.
So then golfers, get the date in your diary, and get your lucky golfing jumpers ironed (you know which one we mean!) and we will see you there in July 2022.
*Booking fees apply.
COVID safety note – Whilst not mandatory, we would encourage attendees to complete a lateral flow test to help us limit any risk of spreading COVID_19.
This year’s goody bag is generously sponsored by Caddyboo.

Supporting a Woman with No Recourse to Public Funds Webinar

The Female Empowerment Convention - Feb - 2022
2022-02-08 09:30 - 17:00 | Online
On 8th February, a collective of women will gather virtually to support and celebrate everything that’s fabulous about us. Join us for this special day with keynote speakers; ready to help support you to BE.

We are all truly living through extraordinary times. But it’s women who are forced to flex and change most with every challenge. In business, at home, with our families. We’re the flex point and we’ve now been doing it for so long that it’s becoming normal. But it isn’t normal. Many of us are burning out, and some of us feel forced to check-out and reduce our own expressions of power in order to support those around us. This isn’t sustainable and we say enough.
This convention is a marker in the sand that says ENOUGH. This is the point at which we take the time to check back in with ourselves, to take some time for ourselves. This is a collective of women, supporting women, and celebrating everything that’s fabulous about us. Across this very special day we have an utterly enviable collection of keynote speakers, each a true genius in their field, and each fired up and ready to help support you BE.
Find out more about the speakers here.
