Aspire Housing team takes to the skies in support of North Staffs and Cheshire Mind

Five brave fundraisers from Aspire Housing took to the skies on 11 July to raise money for North Staffs and Cheshire Mind.

Carl Grayson, Susannah German-Worthington, Adrian Foster, Julie Gilly and Lucy Brownsword all completed their skydive at Skydive Tilstock Freefall Club, taking on the challenge to support mental health services across North Staffordshire and Cheshire.

Together, the team raised £3,083 in sponsorship.  Julie Gilly topped the fundraising leaderboard raising £865, earning her a free gliding experience at Stafford Gliding Club.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in the challenge and to everyone who donated in support. Your generosity helps us continue providing vital mental health services to people across North Staffordshire and Cheshire.
