Local charity The Travers Foundation is delighted to announce its first ever Patron, golfer Ryan Evans.
Ryan was the initial recipient of support from the charity, which was set up by local businessman Terry Forsey in 2012. It therefore seems only fitting that he becomes the charity’s premier patron.
The Travers Foundation is a Northamptonshire-based charity which helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
Ryan will be hosting the charity’s inaugural Patron’s Lunch on Friday
