My story

 
Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this.  Staff in the FELS Courses and Awards Office have been working together as project teams to undertake a range of challenges designed to:  

 

·          encourage a sense of community amongst staff who do not normally work together   

·          support and challenge each other as appropriate to solve problems and find news ways of working smartly 

 ·       investigate using e-rooms for project planning  

 

 

Our group : Amy Brown, Ross Cranham, Jon Dyas, Lynda Juma, Jo Miller, Linda Quantrill, Malihe Sanatian, Shirley Scripps, Nicky Thomas and Carole Watts decided to take on a personal challenge and go on a high-wire adventure course with ‘Go Ape’.

 

Go Ape is a ‘high-wire forest adventure’  at Woburn that sets groups loose on giant obstacle courses up in the trees using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire, and the country’s best zip lines. (http://www.goape.co.uk/)

 

 

 

Because this is such a challenge for us we really thought it would be worthwhile marking this event by getting sponsored to  overcome our fear and complete the GoApe course .  The charity we’ve chosen is ‘Toybox’ a charity committed to providing help for street children in Latin America : 'Street children in Latin America are being robbed of their childhood. But every day, Toybox offers these forgotten children the chance of a brighter future'.

So we’re asking you ,  and our friendsand family if you wouldn’t mind putting your hands in your pockets to support us and Toybox.  Will you help us?   

 

Thanks so much for your time.
