Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

On 27th July Michael Payne, Anne Filatotchev, Steve Fowler, Steve Lathrope, Stuart Abraham, Jon Calver, Cora Stone, Sudeep Maitra, Nick Parmaksizian and Paula O'Connell will be walking across 20 feet of hot coals burning at around 1236 degrees Fahrenheit - hopefully completely unharmed!!  

However, it's all in a good cause - we're raising money for Springboard - a charity that helps disadvantaged children by providing the highest levels of literacy support for children with learning difficulties in inner city primary schools, to help them develop the literacy skills they need to continue and engage with mainstream education.   As many as 35% of children in some local primary schools are registered as having Special Educational Needs, yet only 4% receive help.

You can find out more about the work Springboard does at www.springboard.org.uk


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Springboard For Children will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us! 

Thanks for your support.
