“Every hole helps raise vital funds to send 192 children on the most once in a lifetime holiday to the theme parks of Orlando.”

This isn’t just about golf – it’s about giving these children a space to be independent, make friends, and find out what they’re truly capable of.” (Ian Poulter).

Here’s how your fundraising can help change the lives of 192 children in Orlando this year:

£530 – can provide a magical day of fun, rollercoasters and making new friends in the theme parks of Orlando for one child
£5,800 – can fund a whole life-changing trip to Orlando for a child, where they can discover a level of independence they never knew possible, meet friends for life, make memories they’ll cherish forever, grow in confidence and realise their true potential.

Thank you.

“If it wasn’t for Dreamflight, I wouldn’t be standing where I am today.” – Aidan’s Story

As a child, Aidan’s medical condition meant that he wasn’t able to continue playing football and cricket, so he turned his attention to golf.

Aidan said: “The illness robbed me of my mobility, and I ended up having to use a wheelchair for almost three years. I endured nine months of chemotherapy, countless tablets, many different forms of treatment and have been in and out of hospital more than 100 times.”

The trip gave Aidan a chance to be independent, grow in confidence and – in his own words – he came back a “different person”, determined to focus on his own golf on his return, inspired by meeting Ian Poulter during the trip.

After years of hard work, Aidan is now a PGA Golf Professional and gives back by being a Dreamflight Ambassador and fundraiser. Over the last 5 years, Aidan has organised golf days at his local golf club, Garforth. Last year alone, he raised over £30,000 – enough to pay for five children to experience their own holiday of a lifetime to Orlando.

Give a Dreamflight child independence, confidence and the fun that they deserve! Please donate today
