A CHARITY golf day has helped raise thousands for a group supporting children and adults with learning difficulties.

The Rotary Club of North Worcestershire, which was set up by the rotary clubs of Bromsgrove and Droitwich Spa, held a charity golf day in the summer.

The event raised £2,000, which has been donated to members of the Worcestershire Special Olympics Team, which is based at the Ryland Centre in New Road.

The club provides year round sports training and competitions of Olympic type events for the children and adults - giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and participate in sharing skills and friendships.
