Natta Charity Golf Day 2025

Posted by Jo Whelan

We are excited to share the success of our 16th Annual Natta Charity Golf Day, held at Sherfield Oaks Golf Club on Friday, 4th July. It was a fantastic day that brought together colleagues, clients, and supporters, all in aid of our three nominated charities: Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, and Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and Wellbeing Care.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised an amazing total of £31,500. This will be equally shared between the charities, giving them a fantastic £10,500 each to support their vital work.

We held this year’s event in memory of John Murphy, who sadly passed away in 2024. John joined Natta Homes in 2000 and was instrumental in the success of our Annual Golf Days. He helped contribute an incredible £262,000 to our charities over these years. We were honoured to have his family participate in the event this year. As a special tribute to John’s lasting legacy and dedication to our Charity Golf Day, we were proud to introduce the John Murphy Cup.
