On Saturday 2nd October 2010 Matthew, Jillian, Sarah and Hayley will be risking life and limb to carry out a skydive in aid of St Ann's Hospice.Matthew and Sarah will be carrying out a static line jump, whilst Jillian and Hayley will be strapped to a hunky guy to take part in a tandem jump!
St Ann's Hospice has been Urban Vision's charity of the year for the past 18 months and to date, our staff have raised over £13,000 for this fantastic cause.
St Ann's Hospice aims to improve the quality of life for people living with life-threatening illnesses in Greater Manchester. They are one of the largest adult hospices in the UK and as an independent local charity, care is provided free of charge to over 3,000 people each year.
St Ann’s Hospice needs to raise £16,000 every day to offer its wide range of services. In total it costs £8.75 million each year to run the Hospice, of which only 35% is received from government funding. It is the support of the local community that enables St Ann’s Hospice to continue providing the highest standards of care to patients, families and carers.So please dig deep and sponsor the UV Skydiving team!
