Recruitment as it should be

The ONE Group are a specialist recruitment agency based locally in Peterborough, Cambridge, and Northampton. The ONE Group hold a Charity Golf Day at Burghley Park Golf Club in Stamford, where they raise money for Magpas Air Ambulance every year. Magpas Air Ambulance brings specialist lifesaving care by land and air to patients in lifethreatening emergencies in the East of England and are purely funded on fundraising initiatives.

The ONE Group’s chosen charity was selected by Directors, Anthony Barnes & Tristan Drane. Both have worked tirelessly every year to make this day one of the most premium charity golf days in the region and have personally made The ONE Group the charities biggest ever corporate fundraiser totalling over £122,000 for Magpas so far. This year we are dedicated to making our charitable contribution to Magpas as big as possible. Anthony tragically died whilst on an overseas business trip in March 2023, and organising this years’ golf day was one of Anthony’s final projects. He was dedicated to making this a fantastic day for the charity. Anthony’s business achievements are vast, and over the last 20 years he has built a successful recruitment business with 4 UK offices, alongside co-owner and Director, Tristan Drane.

The ONE Group really hope you can help make this an amazing day, most importantly helping to raise money to save lives in the region. The ONE Group’s golf day this year has had unprecedented interest and are currently at capacity with golfers. However, you can still support Magpas by becoming an Event Sponsor for £300 or donate prizes we can enter into either one of our raffle or silent auction. Approximately 50% of the total donated to Magpas comes from the generosity of companies of all sizes, from the local market. 100% of all proceeds go straight to the charity.

Marc Kent, The ONE Group’s Head of Commercial says “We are really excited about this year’s golf day and the interest we have received. We are incredibility grateful for the support we have already received and with our recent loss, we are extremely passionate about making this the biggest yet, and really help Magpas with our charitable support. For anyone reading this, examples of some of the auction prizes already donated are; Arsenal & Chelsea football match day experiences, hotel stays, designer sunglasses, signed sporting memorabilia and BMW cars for a weekends use. Approximately 50% of the money raised comes from this and we are so grateful for anything businesses in the region might be able to do. The addition of Event Sponsorship this year gives companies a great way to be a part of the day and make a very welcome donation to the charity at the same time”.

Our 14th Annual Lifesavers Golf Day is on Friday 23rd June 2023, and we are hoping with your support, we can make this the biggest one yet.
