Steve, a keen champion of a helping people with disabilities live a fulfilled life, said: “We are delighted to have been able to recognise FitzRoy’s vital work supporting people to live the life they choose, with this gift.

“Clearly the members shared my passion, and contributed, and my grateful thanks go to them for their huge generosity.”
FitzRoy human resources director Roybn Wedderburn, said: “We are immensely grateful to all the members of Waterlooville Golf Club who have given their time and money with such passion and generosity.”
