Housing Units, the Failsworth-based home department store, raised more than £5,000 for children's cancer charity Kidscan at its recent golf day.

Over the last three years the company has raised over £40,000 for Kidscan.

More than 60 golfers, made up of both suppliers and colleagues, attended the event.

The overall event was won by Housing Unit’s Site and Security Manager, Carl Davidson, and in tradition he was presented with the Housing Units green jacket.

CEO Nick Fox said: "We have been hosting our charity golf day for 16 years now and it just gets better every year.

"We are delighted to have raised over £5,000 for Kidscan and look forward to next year’s event.”

Housing Units was established in 1947, and is one of the leading home furnishing stores in the UK.
