ACES Minigolf are delighted to be supporting a very worthy cause in 2024 called Emily's gift - supporting children with cancer in Gloucestershire and their families.

Emily's gift is a new appeal launched by Julie Kent MBE under the umbrella of the Pied Piper Appeal, who are the leading children's charity in Gloucestershire.

In 1995, Julie Kent and her husband Bernard’s first daughter Emily, died of a brain tumour when she was just three years old. Since then they have committed themselves to fundraising for children with cancer in Gloucestershire.

The aim of Emily’s gift is to raise £500,000 to fund the employment of a psychologist, for children having cancer treatment and their families on the Emily Kent Unit (Paediatric Oncology), at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The funds raised by Emily’s gift will secure the post for 10 years.

In addition to children in remission who need to be scanned regularly, there are currently over 30 children receiving cancer treatment in the Emily Kent Unit. A psychologist will help provide the professional, emotional support that these children and their families desperately need.

Please help us reach our target - thank you!
