Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Safer Communities JustGiving page.

On Sunday 4th October 2009 we will be raising money for Action for Children Scotland by taking the plunge and zip sliding across the River Clyde. The zip slide will take place from a mobile crane from the Clyde side to a platform constructed on the opposite side. The height of the slide is approximately 130 ft and the distance from one side to the other (across Water!!!) is 1000ft.

Action for Children is a charity committed to helping the most vulnerable children and young people in the Scotland and the rest of the UK break through injustice, deprivation and inequality, so they can achieve their full potential. Today, Action for Children is a provider of family and community centres, children's services in rural areas, services for disabled children and their families, and services for young people leaving care.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

If you want to come along on the day for proof that we did it, please feel free. There will also be live music, face painting, craft stalls and food.
