Every year our Men’s and Ladies’ Captains select a charity to support. With the generous support of the members of Hoebridge Golf Club we regularly raise in excess of £20,000 each year.

This year our captains, Steph and John, have chosen Woking Strokeability as the HGC charity of 2022.

Woking Strokeability is a small local charity which provides physical and emotional support to stroke survivors, their carers and others with similar physical limitations.

Using local leisure facilities, the charity provides supervised aerobic and aqua aerobic exercise. Working with qualified instructors, members are encouraged to make the most of their current capabilities and move as much as possible, which restores their confidence and fitness. Most members, partners and carers meet after a workout to enjoy lunch and drink together, which provides emotional support and much-needed social contact.

Currently the charity depends heavily on one stroke rehab qualified instructor Isobel. Finding and training another instructor in stroke rehabilitation as a back-up and deputy is a key aim for this year’s fundraising.
