Thank You to Kilton Forest Golf Club

What an amazing evening at Kilton Forest Golf Club following their Captains Charity Golf Day. The golf day marked the end of Club Captain Lee Eyre’s fundraising activities for the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation and we are so incredibly grateful to Lee for selecting our Foundation as his Charity to support throughout his time as Club Captain.

Bailey was invited along to the presentation evening to receive a cheque for the phenomenal amount of £3,304.60 where he was also given the opportunity to say ‘Thank you’ say a few words about the Foundation, followed by an impromptu performance of ‘Sweet Caroline’ and an interesting story about his only golf experience alongside his golf mentor ‘Grandad Ken’.

We were given the warmest of welcomes by everyone at the golf club and it really was an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet such an amazing group of people and be part of their evening. We must also thank Simon for playing Baileys music requests giving him the opportunity to enjoy some typical Saturday night out dancing with his partner in crime ‘Uncle John’.

Sending a truly heartfelt thank you to Lee and everyone who has been involved with supporting his fundraising activities. Your kindness and generosity really does mean so much!

Thank You to Bassetlaw Health Services Sports and Social Club

Sending a heartfelt thanks to the Bassetlaw Health Services Sports and Social Club for their incredibly kind and generous donation of £1200.

After over 40 years of organising trips, events and social opportunities for NHS staff across the Doncaster and Bassetlaw sites, it was incredibly to sad to hear that the Sports and Social Club had taken the difficult decision to close. The remaining funds held by the Club have been donated to a number of Charities, and the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation is incredibly grateful to be one of those Charities selected by the Committee.

I understand that many of the Committee members have been involved with the Club for much of the 40 years that it has been in existence, all giving their time on an entirely voluntary basis. All of us here at the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation are sending our Best Wishes for the future to all of the Committee Members and we thank you for your support of our Foundation.

Well Done to #TeamBailey at Superhero Tri

Great day at Superhero Tri where Bailey was a Celebrity Team Captain bringing home his team on the run leg following a fantastic swim by Katie (Luke’s TA who stepped up to do the swim leg after Luke fell ill before the start), and a top effort on bike by Lorenzo.

Bailey also completed an individual sprint event with his trusty sidekick Uncle Johnny!
