A decade of community, generosity, and making a difference.
Tom, John and James Hanson are known locally for their work in building and property development, shaping homes, projects, and spaces across the region.
But it’s what they’ve built outside of the day job that has truly caught people’s attention.
Beyond the sites, plans, and projects, the three brothers have spent the last decade leading a community-led event that brings people together with a shared purpose. The Hanson Services Golf Day has become a standout moment in the local calendar, not just for what it raises, but for what it represents.
And like most meaningful ideas, it started with something personal.
Founded by one of the brothers’ personal experience, the event was brought to life with the support of family, friends, and local businesses from the very beginning. From that first day, there was a clear sense that this was more than just a round of golf, it was a coming together of people, driven by a genuine desire to make a difference.
Ten years on, that intention has only grown stronger.
This year marks the 10th anniversary, and with it, an incredible milestone. Together, the event has raised over £200,000 for ACT Charity, supporting vital equipment, services, and staff, creating real, tangible impact where it matters most.
What sets the Hanson Services Golf Day apart is its connection to the cause. Working closely with the ACT team, the brothers have ensured that every pound raised contributes to something meaningful and visible. It’s not just about fundraising, it’s about understanding the difference it makes.
And then there’s the day itself.
Ask anyone who’s attended, and they’ll tell you it’s the atmosphere that stays with you. There’s a natural ease to it, familiar faces, new connections, shared stories, and a collective energy that builds throughout the day. It’s relaxed but purposeful, social but meaningful, a reflection of the people behind it.
“A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the Hanson Services Golf Day over the years, from local businesses and sponsors to every single person who has taken part or played on the day. It’s the community around this event that makes it what it is, and we’re incredibly grateful for the continued support in helping us raise money for such an important cause.”

For Stones and Sanders & Jay, it’s a partnership that goes back to the very beginning.
“We’ve been proud to support the Hanson Services Golf Day since day one. Being invited by long-term family friends to be part of something like this means a lot. It’s an incredible event, and we genuinely love being involved, not just because of what it raises, but because of what it stands for.”
For Tom, John and James, this isn’t just an event, it’s something they’ve built alongside the community around them.
Now, as they look ahead to this milestone year, the ambition is simple: to raise more than ever before.
