 LEAP INTO ACTION TO HELP A MANCHESTER CHARITY!
Manchester based charity, the National Library for the Blind (NLB)
are looking for adventurous volunteers to help with their latest fundraising
appeal – sponsored parachute jumping! The charity has teamed up with parachuting experts Skyline in an initiative
which will help them to raise the money needed to add new Braille books
to their stock. Based in Stockport, the National Library for the Blind is a registered
charity providing a free postal library service to blind and partially
sighted people worldwide. With no regular government funding, the charity
can only continue to work thanks to fundraising appeals and events – which
is why it’s so important that people leap into action to help! NLB’s Fundraising Manager Alison Staples said: “With less
than 5% of all books published ever making it into a format that visually
impaired people can read, it’s vitally important that we continue
to raise the funds needed to convert books into Braille. Imagine not
being able to read the latest best seller and how frustrating that
would be. By joining our appeal you can help us to continue helping
visually impaired people enjoy the magic of reading – and have
fun at the same time!” No previous parachuting experience is necessary as full training will
be given. And if you raise enough in sponsorship money, you will get
to jump for free!
So if you’re brave enough to leap out of an aeroplane
for NLB and want to experience the thrill of skydiving, contact Suelen
Wong now on
0161 355 2087 or via email at suelen.wong@nlbuk.org for your free information
pack. Go on – we dare you!
NOTE: If you decide to take part in this please let us know at Manchester
Freebies! We'd love to know!
