Teeing Off for a Great Cause in Stevenage

Ricky, our partner agent in Stevenage, joined the annual Stevenage Community Trust Golf Day to help raise over £12,000 for local families in need. From sponsoring a hole to rallying two teams, it was a day of connection, generosity, and giving back to the community he proudly serves.

Last week, Ricky, our partner agent in Stevenage, took part in the annual Stevenage Community Trust Golf Day, joining a wide range of local businesses and residents to raise money for some of the area’s most important causes. 

The event, which has become a key date in the local fundraising calendar, was a full day of golf, connection, and giving back.  

Ricky entered two teams and sponsored a hole as part of his continued commitment to getting involved in local events that make a difference. But beyond the scorecards and the sunshine, the day was all about community. 

“Supporting the local community has always been important to me. This charity does incredible work right here in our area, offering vital support to families. The auction after is a way of generating additional great value and prizes that are worth winning.” - Ricky Veale 

The Stevenage Community Trust provides essential support to families and individuals who are facing hardship. From emergency financial aid to funding for school equipment, youth initiatives, and local grassroots groups, the Trust's work touches a wide range of people across the borough. 

The golf day wasn’t just a fundraiser, it was a celebration of everything that makes local communities strong: generosity, teamwork, and people coming together for a shared purpose.  

The post-event auction offered the chance to raise even more funds, with a range of brilliant prizes donated by supporters and businesses alike. 

By the end of the day, an impressive £12,568 had been raised, a figure that will go directly toward initiatives such as: 

Heating more than 40 vulnerable homes this winter 
Providing Christmas gift cards for over 80 children and families 
Equipping local schools and community groups with much-needed supplies 

For Ricky and everyone at avocado property, events like this are a chance to show what being part of a local business truly means.  

It’s about building relationships, supporting others, and making sure we give back wherever we can. 

We’re incredibly proud to support the work of the Stevenage Community Trust and look forward to many more opportunities to work alongside them in the future.

Your home, family, and financial commitments are likely to change over time. But if your protection policies stay the same, you could end up with cover that no longer fits, or worse, leaves gaps that put your home or loved ones at risk.

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

If you’re thinking about selling your home but don’t feel ready to book a valuation just yet, you’re not doing it wrong; you’re doing it honestly.

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to emotionally handle it, here’s what we'd say...
