Peterlee businessman Graeme Carter, owner of Shred Direct, was proud to both take part and be a sponsor of the Grace House Charity Golf day at Ramside Hotel Durham.
The charity event helped raise much needed funds for Grace House, which provides support to families with disabled children and young people, including help for parents and siblings of the child.
Graeme said: “‘It’s a great charity to help and support and I’ve taken part in the charity golf day on a number of occasions now.
“This year Shred Direct were very proud to be one of the sponsors of the event. It’s our way of giving something back to the community and helping people who need it most.”
Graeme founded Shred Direct 14 years and is based at Novus Business Centre in Peterlee.
About Grace House
If you’ve recently been told that your child has a disability or you are working towards a diagnosis it can be really difficult to know what to do next. You’re bound to wonder what that means for you, your family and your child.
There are no easy answers but you are not alone in facing the unknown. Sharing experiences can be a massive help, whether that is with counsellors or with other parents. Grace House appreciate that you’re in a unique position so they won’t try to shoehorn you into any pre-set route. They’re here to listen, help make sense of where you’re at, and to help you find a way forward.
All young people deserve to be excited and amazed by what the world has to offer. Grace House see it as a strong part of their role to help the young people they support to recognise more of those opportunities and to grasp them. Nothing should be out of reach in life, but sometimes even the smallest steps can be daunting. They aim to help build skills and confidence, to help young people make that transition from being children to enjoying more independence and responsibility.
