- » with The Cheltenham Trust

THE Cheltenham Trust is hosting a special Gin and Cabaret Gala night spectacula­r and with your support a positive difference will be made to the lives of children with cancer, helping them and their families during exceptiona­lly difficult times.

The trust, which is an independen­t charity, this week launched its first collaborat­ive charity event, the Gin and Cabaret Gala night in support of the Emily’s Gift charity appeal.

The gala is the first charity collaborat­ion for the trust, signifying the trust’s mission to reinvest in the local community to make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of local residents and visitors to the town.

The Cheltenham Trust is pleased and proud to support Emily’s Gift for its first event of this kind.

The gala night is an opportunit­y to dress to impress and enjoy an experience that will appeal to the senses, a night of glitz and glamour of the highest calibre, cabaret, exquisite dining and an exclusive after party, while raising funds for an inspiratio­nal and invaluable charity appeal.

This unique event takes place on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at Cheltenham Town Hall and is supported by Gloucester Brewery and Fox’s Kiln Distillery, with the aim of generating funds to help Emily’s Gift reach its £500,000 fundraisin­g target. Emily’s Gift appeal was launched in March 2023 by Julie Kent MBE under the umbrella of the Pied Piper Charity. The appeal comes to an end in March 2024.

The year-long Emily’s Gift appeal aims to raise money to fund a psychologi­st on the Emily Kent Unit (paediatric oncology) at Gloucester­shire Royal Hospital for 10 years, to provide invaluable emotional support to children having cancer treatment and their families.

The Cheltenham Trust manages the town’s most iconic and contempora­ry venues in Cheltenham and provides a diverse year-round programme of cultural events and entertainm­ent, as well as leisure, sport and heritage.

Through its commercial activities the trust raises funding to provide free community events and activities, enabling thousands of local residents and visitors to the town to enjoy exclusive access to live music, entertainm­ent, art and culture.

Tickets for the exclusive charity gala night are now on sale with both classic and VIP tickets, which include an exclusive after party.
