  1. We’re trying to make things better for the people of Golcar. We do this by raising money in local village events so that we can support local good causes and individuals in our community.

    Our history - 42 years ago, inspired by the great work that the Hastings Winkle Club have done providing help and support to those most in need in their town, several Golcar people, over a beer or two, decided to form our very own Golcar Winkle Club (GWC)

    With the help and support of the business community, personal donations and fundraising events, the GWC has continued to help the people of Golcar ever since

    We are a purely voluntary organization of 21 members without any administration fees or charges. Every penny raised is put back into helping people or good causes in our village…

    These are just some of the ways we’ve recently helped individuals and community groups in Golcar:

    individuals and families who have slipped through regular support networks. We've funded physical aids for people with mobility issues; bought books and musical instruments for schools; and funded awards that recognise young achievers

    Provided funding, and volunteered, for community groups like Meals on Wheels and those groups that support and educate the young people in our village such as the Guide and Scout groups; local sports teams and the community garden

    We paid for the Memorial to be cleaned this year and the members repainted the railings. We’re very proud that GWC had the initial idea, and then funded, the War Memorial that sits at the heart of Golcar

    We provide the village Christmas lights and trees, and the visits from Santa, as well as Christmas parties for people who might be spending Christmas alone
