I’m doing the skydive because I want to give back to the Relationship Centre Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland (formally known as Relate Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland), a place that has truly become like family to me.

I’ve had the privilege of working here not only as a staff member but also as a placement student for my 3rd year of university. The experience I've had during my placement was life-changing—it allowed me to complete my studies and gain valuable knowledge which will contribute to my 3rd year studies, while being part of a team that truly cares for the community. From my first day, I felt welcomed and supported by everyone, and that sense of belonging has only grown since.

The team is incredibly dedicated, not just to the work we do but to the people we support. Whether it’s relationship, family, individual, young person counselling, or our mental health pop-up workshops in schools. We are always going above and beyond to make sure that everyone feels heard, valued, and supported. The care and compassion we provide are what make this organisation so special.

I deeply appreciate The Relationship Centre's commitment to supporting my personal and professional growth. They’ve given me the opportunity to further my learning by enrolling me onto the Children and Young Person Wellbeing Practitioner training, once I have finished my 3rd year at university. This support will be invaluable in helping me grow within the team and continuing to develop my skills.

It's this investment in team members’ growth that truly sets the Relationship Centre apart.

This skydive is my way of giving back to The Relationship Centre that has given so much to me—both professionally and personally. I’m raising money to expand our bursary fund, ensuring that people who struggle financially have access to essential theraputic support.

It’s a cause I care deeply about, and I’m excited to contribute in any way that I can, especially after experiencing first hand the impact we have on people's lives.

Any donations, no matter the amount, would be greatly appreciated and make a real difference.

We are grateful for your support!
