ICOS Sunderland is raising money for ICOS
International Community Organisation of Sunderland (ICOS) exists to improve the quality of life of BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) people in the North East and to enhance community cohesion and intercultural understanding in this area. We focus on those who lack access to information and services to ensure equal access. We have particularly strong links to the Eastern European community, but we have also successfully worked with refugees, asylum seekers and BME people born in the UK. Currently, most of our work is delivered in Sunderland and the surrounding area. Our approach is to focus on both- assets of our community, as well as the issues that our community faces. While we are committed to supporting those in crisis, we strongly believe that it is our duty to prevent the crisis.

Story

Imagine stepping out of an aeroplane, thousands of feet above the ground to raise funds for ICOS!

Two incredible volunteers have decided to do exactly that. They are taking on a skydive with Sky-High Skydiving to raise money, and we're asking you to be part of their journey.

It takes courage to take that leap. But sometimes, the biggest leaps are the ones we take together.

Behind every donation is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. It could help someone facing a difficult time find support, give someone the confidence to take their next step, or help create opportunities for people to feel welcome, included and connected to their community.

We would love for you to join them by helping turn their brave challenge into something that has a lasting impact.

Can you help us make their leap count?

Whether you donate whatever you can afford, every contribution brings us one step closer to our fundraising goal. No donation is too small, and every act of generosity is appreciated.

You can still help by sharing this page with your friends, family and colleagues.

Lets show our two volunteers that they aren't taking this leap alone.

Donate today, spread the word, and help us take the leap towards a stronger, more connected community.

From all of us at ICOS, thank you for your kindness, generosity and support.
