Clem Spencer Cardiology Day in it's 31st Year

Teeing Off for a Great Cause: Clem Spencer Cardiology Golf Day Returns for 31st Year in Aid of Hearts Together’s BIG BUILD

Hearts Together is proud to announce the return of one of its longest-standing fundraising events, the Clem Spencer Trophy, now celebrating its 31st year. The charity golf day will take place on Saturday 20 September at the beautiful Elfordleigh Golf Club and Hotel, in Plympton.

The event is organised entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers, led by former Hearts Together trustee Rob Harder, and regularly attracts over 80 players. It promises a full day of friendly competition, fundraising and community spirit in support of Hearts Together’s Big Build project – the most ambitious development in the charity’s history.

 All are welcome to take part with the event open to members of the public, guests, club members and teams invited to tee off and compete for the famous red jacket and cash prizes for the first three places.

All funds raised from this year’s event will support Hearts Together’s Big Build project – a transformational plan to expand and improve the hospital hotel’s facilities. Each year, thousands of people travel to Plymouth for medical care or to support loved ones undergoing treatment at nearby Derriford hospital. Many are left facing the stress and expense of finding somewhere to stay during what is often a worrying time.

Hearts Together’s Hospital Hotel provides safe, welcoming and affordable accommodation just minutes from the hospital. But demand for services has grown significantly and the current building can no longer meet the needs of everyone who needs them. In 2023 alone, the charity were unable to accommodate over 4,000 nights of guest stays due to a lack of capacity. The Big Build will deliver increased bedroom capacity to reduce waiting lists plus many features designed to create the best possible spaces for guests and including improved accessibility for people with complex needs or mobility challenges and more communal spaces for families to connect, rest and support one another.

“In it’s 31 year history, this annual event has raised over £50,000 for Hearts Together, and we are so grateful to everyone who continues to make it such a success. A very special thank you to Rob for continuing the success of this much-loved event, which was originally started by former chairman Clem Spencer. Clem was a deeply respected and much-loved part of the charity, and this special day continues in his memory, it perfectly reflects his generous spirit and unwavering commitment to helping others.” Michelle Clark, Interim CEO, Hearts Together
