Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Corporate Procurement Unit is raising money for Victim Support. To do it, we're going to walk across 5m of 800 degree celsius burning embers followed by another 5m of thousands of pieces of broken glass!

BREAKING NEWS: Well, we did it! Martin, Richard and Tarvinder all survived the fire walk unscathed (Martin and Richard even went back for seconds!). The glass walk was certainly more daunting but both Martin and Richard demonstrated further derring-do / stupidity (delete as applicable) by walking across, avoiding lacerations and arterial bleeding in the process. See the photos and video (above) for proof .

We would like to thank everyone who has supported and sponsored us - family, friends and colleagues. Including gift aid you've helped raise the best part of £1,300 which will go a long way to making a positive difference for many individuals' lives.

 

Special thanks also go to:

Kevin Yates at Scion Design for designing our T-Shirt logo

Mark Wahl at Copyprint for printing the T-Shirts

Rebecca Rae and Sachin Joshi for providing moral support on the night

Reed Specialist Recruitment for sponsoring us £500

 

London Probation works with the victims of serious crimes, providing support to any victim of a sexual or other violent offence where the offender receives a sentence of 12 months or more.
