James is taking fundraising to new heights

A few months after holding our charity digger day for Thrive Autism, we wanted to go one step further. This time, James is swapping the comfort of solid ground for a 13,000-foot skydive in support of the charity's work.

It is an exciting challenge and a serious personal commitment. Every donation will help turn the jump into meaningful support for Thrive Autism, while every share will introduce the fundraiser to more people who may want to get involved.

We are incredibly grateful for the encouragement already shown and cannot wait to see James complete the challenge on 30 August. You can also read our latest news and follow more of the team’s community work.
