Abstract
Welcome to the Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney Fundraising Page, where I am thrilled to be participating in a tandem skydiving event to support them and another Emmaus Community in Oxford. So far, we are more than halfway to reaching our target. Emmaus Oxford has been extremely grateful for every donation and contribution that was made. But let's not stop there! With what we have left to raise, your support will directly benefit the initiatives that Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney provide to empower individuals who have been formerly homeless, such as the Women's Only Project.
This means the rest of the total amount will be given to Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney. Therefore, this is a fundraising page dedicated to them. Here's what we've raised so far for Emmaus Oxford: https://www.justgiving.com/page/emmausoxford
About Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney
They are more than just a bed for the night.
Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney provides a home for as long as is needed, support and meaningful work opportunities for up to 40 formerly homeless people. Living in a stable environment with the opportunity to gain new skills helps people to regain any lost self-esteem and confidence, helping them to get back on their feet and create a new future for themselves.
Their local store raises vital funds for the charity. The shop is a treasure trove of high-quality, pre-loved furniture, as well as a great place to browse vintage household items, clothing, and bric-a-brac.

Why am I fundraising for two Emmaus Communities?
I have always wanted to skydive, and I believe this goal can be achieved through my fundraising platform. As I was a former victim of homelessness and now I am being supported by Emmaus, which has helped people over the years to overcome homelessness and move on to something better. With your donations, you could help someone like me achieve their future ambitions.
Here's a glimpse of how I live whilst being supported by two Emmaus communities.
