Avant Homes Scotland has raised £5,900 for the Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation following a charity golf day held at Hollandbush Golf Club in Lanark

 

The housebuilder brought together 30 subcontractors from across its supply chain for the golf event, which raised vital funds for the cancer charity.  

 

Founded by Andrew Smillie in 2016 in memory of his daughter Emmie, the Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation supports cancer-related organisations, hospices and palliative care services across Glasgow and the west of Scotland.

 

Run entirely by volunteers, 100 per cent of the funds raised by the Foundation are distributed directly to beneficiary organisations.

 

Andrew Smillie, chair of the Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation, said: “We were both humbled and delighted to be nominated by Avant Homes as one of the beneficiaries of their golf day.

 

“The event itself was fantastic and the incredible amount raised was fantastic. This remarkable contribution will go a very long way in helping us achieve our aims and goals throughout the year.”

 

The Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation aims to unite individuals, companies and organisations to make a meaningful difference to those affected by cancer.

 

Bryan Galloway, construction director at Avant Homes Scotland, commented: “We are proud to support the Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation and it’s fantastic to have raised £5,900 for such an important cause.

 

“This event was an opportunity to bring together our partners and their generosity highlights our shared commitment to giving back to the communities in which we are building.

 

“The Emmie Smillie Charity Foundation carries out vital work for those living with cancer and we are pleased to play our part in supporting that mission.”
