Manchester’s Christie Hospital has been presented with a £2,000 cheque (see photograph) from Lancashire’s acclaimed Moorhouse’s Brewery following a fund raising golf tournament.
The annual two day charity event, for Moorhouse’s customers and suppliers, saw 35 teams compete at the Standish Court Golf Club, near Chorley. The £2,000 was raised for with a raffle of prizes contributed by suppliers and an auction. It was donated to the specialist cancer hospital’s Lymphoma Department. The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres.

David Grant, managing director, said: “Our competition has become ever more popular each year so for the second time we ran it over two days and we were very pleased to be able to raise this money for Christie.”
Burnley based Moorhouse’s is the North West’s leading dedicated cask-conditioned ale brewer and has won more awards than any other comparable brewer. Work began recently on a £3.5m new brewery development to triple production capacity for its famous ‘Pendle Witch’ brands.
