This year we will be continuing our history of fundraising for charity at Mulligan’s Open.

This year we will be donating all proceeds from our raffle to the Bethany Christian Trust. For those who aren’t familiar with Bethany, they are a charity that focuses on tackling homelessness in Scotland. They have various hostels throughout Scotland as well as offering counselling and addiction services to those in need. With things being what they are in 2023 more and more people will need the help of charities such as Bethany. So hopefully we can do a little bit to help fund some of the fantastic work that they do.

You can find out more about the Bethany Christian Trust and their work here: https://bethanychristiantrust.com/

There is still time to join us at Mulligans Open if you are on the fence or still looking to come… however there are only 7 tickets left! That’s right… just 7 left! Once they are gone they are gone. So sign up soon to avoid disappointment!

Looking forward to seeing you all in 3 weeks time!
