Take a Leap Year leap for Gold Dust

We are inviting anyone who wants to take a Leap Year leap for Gold Dust to join the members of our staff who have already volunteered for the event in April.

On Sunday 17 April 2016, members of Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust staff will be standing at the edge of an open doorway, in an aircraft flying at 15,000 feet, waiting to dive through the air at over 120mph – all to support the Gold Dust Appeal.

The Gold Dust Appeal was aims to raise £100,000 to create bright, exciting and welcoming wards for local children and young people at Plymouth Hospitals. We want to be able to care for children in a stimulating and sensitive environment with bright and spacious surroundings, which will provide greater comfort and privacy for children and their families.

We are still looking for more volunteers, so whether you are one of our staff or a member of the public and Skydive Buzz is working with Gold Dust to offer sponsored skydives to anyone keen to raise funds.

Emma Cronin, Gold Dust Appeal Fundraising Manager, said: “We would like as many people as possible to take on this once in a lifetime experience and to take a Leap Year leap for the Gold Dust Appeal.

“The more people that take on this challenge, the more funds that will be raised to support this charity, allowing us to get closer to our target.”
