A Record-Breaking Day on the Green PROPS North East’s Third Annual Charity Golf Day • 17 July 2026 Together, our players, sponsors and supporters raised an incredible £3,028 — a new record for the event. A fantastic day at Tynemouth Golf Club On Friday 17 July 2026, golfers, friends and supporters joined us at Tynemouth Golf Club for the third annual PROPS North East Charity Golf Day. Fourteen teams enjoyed a brilliant day of golf, friendly competition and fundraising — all in support of families across Newcastle and North Tyneside affected by a loved one’s drug or alcohol use. From registration and the first tee to the meal, raffle and prize presentation, the atmosphere was warm, generous and full of community spirit. We received wonderful feedback about the organisation of the day and the food, and we are grateful to every player who helped make the event such a success. The PROPS team ready to welcome players. Branded welcome bags and event-day touches. Our social-media prize draw and PROPS hamper. A wonderful selection of donated raffle prizes.
