Story

Jumping out of a plane is not something I envisioned myself doing when enrolling at Nottingham Uni! Still, I was blessed to have met a wonderful group of people through the local Salvation Army branch. They have helped the community, including students, in so many ways and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to give back and raise money with them.

I have seen first-hand the inspiring ways in which the hard-working people behind this charity have been helping our communities and can assure you that your money will make a huge difference to a person or family in need. Your donation will go towards fantastic causes such as:

Rescuing and supporting victims of human trafficking;

Providing for families and children in need with essentials such as food, shelter and entertainment;

Creating and sustaining a safe space for local homeless people, affording them frequent meals, shelter and opportunities;

Supporting us university students! Not many are aware of the vast amount of support offered by the Salvation Army to adult students - I'm very lucky to have met these loving people, who work so hard to raise our communities.

Giving a few pounds would go an awful long way for those who need it most. Hitting the £500 target would make a huge difference to so many, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

"Do you want to enjoy the exhilarating and unforgettable feeling of a skydive? Flying through the clouds from over

10,000ft at up to 120mph?!

This incredible challenge will give you the biggest adrenaline rush you could ever imagine as you soar through the air knowing that you

have raised invaluable funds to help victims of human

trafficking to rebuild their lives*.

The specialist support programme run by The Salvation

Army is designed to preserve the dignity of victims,

Protect and care for them in safe accommodation. But

a victim of human trafficking not only needs immediate

support but sustainable support. It costs just £50 for a

counselling session. By raising £500 you could pay for 10

specialist and life-changing counselling sessions to help

and support the mental welfare of victims to become

survivors."
