Businesses tee-ed off for charity this week, raising £15,000.

A total of 34 teams from companies around Halstead and Braintree took part in the fundraiser for Farleigh hospice at Colne Valley golf club in Earls Colne.

The fourth annual event was hosted by Daniel Robinson and Sons funeral directors, as part of their social responsibility contribution.

Funeral manager Rosalyn Pratt said: "It's about caring for the community. This year's event will mean we've raised £50,000 over the four years.

"It's gone very well. Everyone has enjoyed themselves."
