TEEING UP FOR CHARITY

A team representing Dover Athletic hit the fairways and greens of Canterbury Golf Club in aid of Donations With A Difference, a charity run by six voluntary trustees, one of which is the club’s Finance Director, Simon Gretton.

The event raised a fantastic £12K which will go to the charities grant fund https://dwad.org/

We are proud to announce that as the new season starts it will also welcome in the inception of the Dover Athletic Community Trust.

The trust will host a few events to launch and raise funds explicitly for the community initiatives of the next 12 months.

One of these will be our first DACT Charity Golf Day at Canterbury Golf Club.on 11th September.

If you are interested to enter a team please contact Simon at simon.gretton@doverathletic.com
