Hi,
As you're here, you may have already heard by now that I am doing a skydive for the Civil Service Benevolent Fund. I know what you're thinking; it doesn't fit my usual risk averse behaviour, however I have decided that 2011 is the year for daring activities and this is all for a good cause!
The Fund exists to offer vital support to civil servants, current, former and retired, in difficult situations; for instance- redundancy in the family, death of a spouse, carer assistance for disabled children, to name a few. In the last five years alone the Fund has helped 32,000 people and your donations will enable it to help many more people in need.
If that hasn't convinced you to donate whatever you can afford, just revel in the thought of me jumping out of a moving plane, 10,000 feet above the ground! Your support would be very much appreciated!
Thank you :-)
