A lifeline domestic abuse charity that provides support to women across Perthshire has been named as one of two official charity partners of the 2019 Solheim Cup.
Perthshire Women’s Aid, and Action for Children, stand to make tens of thousands of pounds during the staging of the world’s biggest women’s golf event at Gleneagles.
Both charities were chosen to support the three pillars of equality, experience and innovation which sit at the heart of the delivery of the 2019 Solheim Cup and to help expand the benefits of hosting one of the world’s premier sporting events far beyond the fairways of Gleneagles.
Perthshire Women’s Aid, based in Perth, was nominated by Perth and Kinross Council and Gleneagles as the host region and host venue and has been granted the status of Official Regional Charity Partner to ensure benefits from hosting the cup are realised locally.
