Swan Housing Staff, Construction Safety UK Limited and The Swan Foundation have taken part in a group charity Skydive to raise over £10,000 for the Swan Foundation.

On Saturday and Sunday, October 1st and 2nd, 12 intrepid employees of Swan Housing and Partner organisations plunged 12,000 feet from an airplane in a bid to raise funds to support local projects in Essex and East London.

The fearless group travelled to March, Cambridgeshire where they boarded the plane at the Chatteris Airfield before taking to the air and hurtling towards the ground at 120 miles per hour.

Another group will be jumping in a few weeks time so please check this site for further details.

The Swan Foundation Trustees and Principle, Pamela Brown extend their personal thanks to everyone who took part. Special thanks go to Jody Kennedy who graciously donated the cost of the jump which ensured all donations raised went directly to the Foundation. Further thanks go to Jorgen Dyer who volunteered his time and car to transport staff from London on the trip to the airfield which was over 80 miles away. Another big thanks goes to all the family and friends who came to support their loved ones in the hour of need. Thank you.
