Laura's Skydive
Fundraising for Able 2 Achieve Trust
Story
I have wanted to do a skydive for ages and finally have the opportunity to do one. On Saturday, 9th September 2017 I will be jumping out of the plane!
I need to raise the £400 before the event in order to be able to do the jump so any donations will be greatly received.
I am raising money to help fund able2achieve Trust's new Learning & Working Development Centre in Ottery St Mary.
able2achive trust supports individuals with learning disabilities and other associated illnesses in being a part of a work place environment learning real working skills in a practical environment.
We currently have projects within the trust, a coffee shop called The Winking Frog and an antiques & collectables shop called able2antiquities.
The Winking Frog works as a fully functional Coffee Shop, with able2achieve Trust employed staff supporting our learners to serve customers, take orders, prepare food, make a variety of different hot drinks along with many other tasks that are involved in the industry.
Able2antiquities works very much like a charity shop with a slight difference to being antiquities & collectables specific, with able2achieve Trust employed staff supporting or learners to purchase stock, maintain the stock within the shop, ensure that everything is displayed correctly along with serving customers.
Our new project in Ottery ST Mary will have a combination of this, with having both a coffee shop and antiques shop in to one. We are looking at calling this project “The Whistling Duck”.
Your donations will go towards the furniture & the setting up of these work areas to ensure that our learners have all the equipment they need to help them with their progression.
