Abigail's Silver Line Charity Skydive

The Silver Line Skydive · 27 October 2017
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for The Silver Line charity by jumping out of a plane at 12,000ft on the 27th October 2017.
I have paid £100 myself to participate in the tandem skydive so all funds raised will go to The Saga Charitable Trust which will then get sent on directly to The Silver Line. I am aiming to raise a target of £500.
As you know we are a charity partner with The Silver Line who make a real difference to the lives of lonely, isolated older people.
Here's a little bit more information about the Charity and what your donations will do to help and what difference you can make....
- Since launching Silver Line they have received over 1.4 million calls
- The Silver Line receive on average 10,000 calls a week from lonely and isolated older people, 53% of the peoole say they have noone else to speak to
- Over two thirds of these calls were made overnight or on the weekends when there are no other helplines available to older people that are lonely
- The calls to Silver Line are free, so they rely entirely on voluntary donations to cover the cost
- £5 will pay for a call with an older person who may not have spoken to any human being all week
- £50 will pay to recruit and train a volunteer to become a Silver Line Friend
- £100 will pay for one caller to be befriended for one year
