We, at Gatenysanderson are proud that we will be supporting PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide as our chosen “Charity of the Year” until April 2022, it is an issue close to the hearts of many of our colleagues.

As part of our fundraising activities, Lorraine will be jumping from 10,000 feet and free-failing at over 120mph in a tandem skydive on 10 July. #ParachuteForPAPYRUS

Any donations made, will not only provide confidence for Lorraine making the leap, but will go towards paying for potentially life-saving calls, texts or emails to HOPELINEUK, as well as support the awareness training PAPYRUS offer, assist their work engaging with young people in local communities, help their volunteers and continue giving hope to a young person who is struggling with life. 

'This is Papyrus first ever dedicated skydive day and I'm grateful ( I think 😊 ), as Chair of CSR at GS, to have the opportunity to raise awareness and money to continue to help prevent young suicide.  

Mental Health has understandably increased over the last year and it can affect so many of us in so many different ways. For some people you can feel helpless and the topic can be sensitive to discuss. I want to help make a difference by raising awareness, financially supporting the amazing work Papyrus do and how sometimes reaching out of your comfort zone can make a huge difference. So yep….. I’ve stepped out of mine and signed myself up to this challenge …. I’m thinking if I’ve survived home-schooling surely this will be a breeze right? 😊   

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page, any donations however small or big will be much appreciated. Thanks Lorraine (Lou) x'

Thank you!
