Skydive for Beacon

I’m taking on a skydive to celebrate Beacon’s 150th birthday and raise money for a cause close to my heart! Beacon has been supporting people living with sight loss for an incredible 150 years!

Beacon Centre for the Blind was established over 145 years ago with a purpose of supporting people with sight loss to live fuller, more independent lives. Covering the Black Country & Staffordshire our activity centres host well-being activities & programmes, talking news & employment opportunities.

Taking the leap for Beacons Big Birthday!

Helping Beacon Celebrate 150 years

I’ve decided to take on a huge challenge in aid of Beacon, I’m going to be doing a skydive on the 12th June!

My name is Susan and I currently volunteer at Beacon's charity shop in Bilston, and I’ve been there just over a year. I absolutely love it and really enjoy being part of the team. Beacon is a cause that’s very close to my heart, especially because my partner is partially sighted, so I see first-hand just how important the work Beacon does.

This year, Beacon is celebrating an incredible 150 years of supporting people with sight loss, and I wanted to do something special to help raise money and mark the occasion.

On a recent holiday, I tried parasailing and then paragliding, and I loved it so much that I thought, why not go one step further and do a skydive!

I’d be so grateful for your support. Any donation, no matter how small, will help Beacon continue to make a real difference in people’s lives.

I've set myself a fundraising target of £1,500 and it would be absolutely amazing if i could reach it! This money could help fuel our four minibuses enabling blind and partially sighted people to get out and about in their community for six months.
