Marketing manager for Junkyard Golf Club Sophie Houghton said: “Junkyard Golf Club is all about having fun and bringing happiness to people, which we hope to do for the children in Malawi with our Junkyard Golf Club school unit.

“The Love Specs are a great idea as they have a really meaningful purpose but present it in an entertaining way. We are excited to support this cause and will have lots of fun doing it.”

The British charity helps orphaned children, supports elders, builds schools and creates a more sustainable living environment for all of Malawi’s residents.

The golf course will be open from 4pm until 11pm.
