By Jill Dando News

The organisers of a fundraising darts competition have presented £1,200 to an inspirational mental health charity.

Lewis Tuck and Rob Broom organised the recent darts event at Highbridge Social Club in Somerset where dozens of players took part, raising funds for mental health support charity In Charley’s Memory.

The charity has expanded massively in recent years after helping hundreds of young people with their mental health.

Lewis told Burnham-on-Sea.com: “It was a great day – we had 55 entrants from across the region taking part for the excellent local charity, In Charley’s Memory.”

“Steve Brown from Bristol, an ex pro player, was the overall winner and we also had a successful darts auction that included items from the Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor.”

Dawn Carey, operations manager at In Charley’s Memory, pictured third right, thanked those who organised and took part in the event, adding: “We are over the moon with the amount raised – there was a really great community spirit there and everyone had a fun time.”

Lewis is now working on a ‘Grand Prix darts series; set to start soon at Highbridge social club.
