The foundation has been created in memory of Ricki Neil-Jones, Ricki was a professional golfer who turned to teaching after passing his PGA Qualification, the foundation's aim is to follow on Ricki's love of sharing his knowledge with children of all ages. The Foundation is working with local schools to identify young vulnerable children who deserve a break from their normal daily challenges. Some of the children have lost parents, have terminally ill parents or are Child Carers to family members. A typical day out involves a day off school to participate in PGA Professional run golf tuition at local golf clubs and driving ranges, a trip to experience Wall Climbing and Trampolining and ending with a game of Crazy Golf. Until now the Foundation has been fully funded by the generosity of family, friends, colleagues and associates of Ricki attending and participating in the annual RNJ - The Gift of Golf Day. The first year this was held, Pedham Place kindly donated their course to the event that attracted 220 golfers (including many professionals) plus many volunteers to raise money for the foundation. The day was hosted by Redlibbets GC in 2019 and Rochester & Cobham GC on 22nd October 2020. This money will fund many youngsters to have a day as a normal child, being able to laugh and run around, without the burden of their personal situation weighing them down.
