About Us
The Foundation helps to fund specific projects relating to devastating illnesses and other challenges that young people face.
These are serious issues, but we like to raise money by having a lot of fun. We raise money from a series of high profile events (and additional donations) and really appreciate your interest and any support you would like to offer.
We are extremely lucky to have some fantastic supporters who hold events for us (events held in aid of the foundation) as well as the Foundation hosting some of our own (foundation events). For further details on forthcoming events please click on the events page.
What We Do?
Where it all began! Whilst Beefy hasn’t picked up a bat since retiring he will confidently chat cricket, manage a team, or commentate - whether you like it or not!
Not only a keen angler, but also a spokesperson for conservation of both the countryside and our rivers.
A huge passion of Beefy’s is wine, so Beefy has great pleasure in offering wine and wine tasting packages at our event auctions.
Just a day, or up to a week, playing golf with Beefy - have a look at our events page for more details!
John O’Groats to Lands End was the first walk, 40 years ago, raising over £1 million! 18 more walks followed, in four continents, Beefy has walked thousands of miles to date and his fundraising continues.
Dinners, Lunches, hey even Breakfasts you can find Beefy hosting charity events throughout the year.
