Steven Tingley

Welcome to our JustGiving donation page.

On March 29th, 2024, we lost a beloved member of our family, Barrie Tingley, also known to many as Badger.

Barrie struggled silently with mental health issues for much of his life, and sadly, last year, the weight of these challenges became too much for him to bear. Mental health affects many, and it is particularly devastating among men, with one in eight men in England experiencing mental health difficulties. Men aged 45 to 69 are particularly vulnerable, and many tragically lose their lives to these conditions.

One of Barrie’s greatest passions was golf, a sport that helped him cope and brought him joy through many cherished days spent on the course with friends. In honour of Barrie, we have organised a charity golf day to raise funds for Suffolk Mind, a vital charity that provides crucial support for individuals struggling with mental health issues.

Our goal is to raise £5,000 to help Suffolk Mind continue its important work—raising awareness, offering support, and making a tangible difference in our local community.

Your generous donations will directly help improve the lives of those battling mental health challenges in our area.

Thank you for your support and for helping us keep Barrie’s memory alive.

Please note, this giving page will stay open for 2 weeks after the golf day, should you wish to donate after the event. Thanks again.
