One of Friendship's support workers faced her
ultimate fear – heights – all in the name of a good cause. Emma
Sale, who is based at Friendship’s Derwent Road scheme, took part
in a charity skydive and jumped from a plane at 12,000 feet.
Brave Emma raised a total of £500 in
sponsorship money. The cash will be split equally, with £250 going
towards the Warwickshire Christmas party for service users while
the rest will be put to good use in the sensory room at Derwent
Road.
Emma said: “I felt a huge sense of achievement
because facing my ultimate fear helped to raise over £500! I want
to thank everyone who has sponsored me and egged me on along the
way!”
Staff have been raising money for the sensory
room for several years which has enabled them to install a
summerhouse in the back garden. This is now being renovated
to accommodate specialist sensory equipment for the service
users.
