Newcastle based wealth and fund management specialists, Tier One Capital has again sponsored Sport Newcastle's annual Golf Day, helping to raise vital funds for the charity and continue their support for grassroots sport in the region.
The fundraising event which took place on Thursday, 3rd July 2025 at Ponteland Golf Club helped to raise over £6,500 to support local athletes, sports organisations and wider participation in grassroots sport across the region.
The annual golf day was a sell-out and attended by 32 teams covering a wide range of local like-minded businesses and was again supported by SOS Group, which is also a long-time supporter of Sport Newcastle fundraising events.
Tier One Capital's sponsorship of the golf day is part of an ongoing partnership with Sport Newcastle, underlining the company’s commitment to contributing to the local community and encouraging involvement in sport at all levels.

The golf day is always a highlight of the year and we all enjoyed a great day's golf which was well organised, well attended and at the same time raised vital funds for grassroots sport.
Mike Booth, Vice Chair of Sport Newcastle, said: "We are delighted to have raised over £6,500 our highest figure to date and we are eternally grateful to the businesses and golfers who attended. The day was a tremendous success and was played in great spirit at one of the North East's finest golf courses.
“The support we receive from businesses is crucial to our long-standing charity's efforts in promoting and nurturing young sporting talent in the region. We are immensely grateful for the continued support from Tier One Capital, a generous sponsor who shares our values and enables emerging sports talents to realise their full potential.
