Zoe Wakefield, Lindsey Paris, Jo Gater and Joe Povey who all work at Dignity’s Head Office in Sutton Coldfield raised money Together For Short Lives by taking part in The Big Jump!
The Big Jump!
Four Dignity employees from Head Office - Zoe Wakefield, Finance; Jo Povey, Jo Gater, Lindsey Paris, all from the Client Service Centre - bravely volunteered for a charity skydive as part of The Big Jump event which raises money for Together For Short Lives (formerly known as Children’s Hospices UK). Between them they managed to raise over £1,800.
"A skydive was always something I wanted to do," explained Zoe. "I know what a great job Acorns Hospices do so it was a great way of raising money for them whilst fulfilling a personal ambition at the same time."
