A charity golf day organised by Isle of Wight-based catering wholesaler Medina Foodservice has raised an impressive £958 in support of the Hampshire and IW Air Ambulance.

Held last Tuesday (September 10), the event saw 56 participants take to the course at Newport Golf Course. 

The players, a mix of Medina customers, charity volunteers, suppliers, and colleagues, competed in an 18-hole tournament to raise money for the life-saving charity.
