Mini Golf Charity Project

I recently completed work on a Mini Golf project at a local homeless shelter. The shelter does great work to support the homeless in a very positive way. I began the fundraising with a hike challenge. The challenge was to walk to the summit of the iconic La Concha situated directly behind Marbella in Southern Spain. The first attempt involved five of us battling the elements. Unfortunately after reaching the halfway point we had to abandon due to low cloud which made the walk too dangerous. The second attempt, just a week later, rewarded the 14 of us with a stunning cloudless day with spectacular views of Marbella and beyond to Morocco.

Next was a charity golf day organised by Lady Captain and Captain of The San Roque Golf Club. The support of the captains and the amazing support of a local construction company and local volunteers enabled us to raise enough funds to complete the project. It was also great to be part of the winning golf team on the day.

It is hoped that now the project is completed, the mini golf can be used not only by the local residents but also the wider community providing long term fundraising for the centre.

Working on this project has been hugely rewarding, it’s not only the people of La Linea that have gained from this. Being involved in this project has allowed me to practice yoga in its truest form and I’ve gained a real sense of well-being. I’ve meet some amazing people, there really is so much good that goes on in our community and I’m delighted our support will continue through our new Hiking Group Don’t Look Down.
