Event: Jump 50 - Skydive Challenge, from 10 June 2023 to 11 June 2023
Welcome to Team Jump 50! We are so excited for you to be joining us for this incredible skydive challenge, 50 skydivers, for 50 years, of delivering vital services to women and children vulnerable to domestic abuse and homelessness.

Story

In June, I will be taking part in The Haven Wolverhampton's Sky Dive, and to be honest, I'm petrified!

As someone who tends to avoid anything remotely daring, the idea of jumping out of a plane is not something I would typically consider – and to be honest I still can’t believe I have accepted the challenge. However, the reason I'm doing this is that I want to help support women and children who experience immense fear on a daily basis, unsure of what the future holds

The Haven Wolverhampton provides practical and emotional support for women and children who have been subjected to Domestic Abuse, and women who are at risk of homelessness.  

By participating in the skydive, I hope to raise both awareness and funds for the services provided by The Haven Wolverhampton, so that these women and children can receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.

While the thought of jumping out of a plane is daunting, it pales in comparison to the ongoing fear that many women and children experience. Through this challenge, I hope to honour their bravery and resilience, and contribute to the vital work being done by The Haven Wolverhampton to support those in need.

This year see's The Haven celebrating 50 years of delivering vital support to women and their children vulnerable to domestic abuse and homelessness. I am joining a Team of 50 skydivers, each skydiver representing each year of The Havens vital lifeline, since 1973! I want to help raise the vital funds The Haven needs to ensure their services can continue for many years to come, from ensuring their helpline can continue to ring and be there for women in their darkest hour through to ensuring the doors of their communal refuges and dispersed safe houses can stay open as a place of safety for a woman and her children to stay.Will you help make this possible and show your support by making a donation to my page, as I embark on this incredible skydive challenge? Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.
