Colleagues from Churchill Retirement Living and Millstream Management Services<\/a> have raised over \u00a322,000 for local causes, including Bournemouth charity Hope for Food<\/a>, by taking part in a charity tandem skydive.<\/p>\n

31 brave team members took part in the ultimate test of nerves, and Chairman & CEO Spencer McCarthy was one of them. The daredevils jumped from 15,000 feet and were freefalling for around 60 seconds before coming safely down to earth.<\/p>\n

Organised by the Churchill Foundation<\/a>, the challenge took place at GoSkydive in Old Sarum, the specialist first-time tandem skydiving centre.<\/p>\n

Churchill\u2019s Chairman & CEO Spencer McCarthy led by example in completing the jump himself. Afterwards an adrenalin-filled Spencer said:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve never shirked a challenge, and I\u2019m a strong believer in giving something back to the community, so when Churchill Colleagues suggested a charity skydive of course I jumped at the opportunity! Hope For Food is a fantastic charity that does some excellent work in the local area, and we\u2019ve been involved with them for some time now as a key partner of the Churchill Foundation. I\u2019m proud of all our Colleagues\u2019 efforts to raise these vital funds to help continue to make a real difference for those less fortunate than ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The impressive total raised will go towards a number of charities around the country, including Hope for Food which is based in Bournemouth and run entirely by volunteers, and aims to provide life\u2019s basic essentials on a day to day basis to people in need of help.<\/p>\n

Hope For Food\u2019s Founder Claire Matthews also took part in the skydive and said:<\/p>\n

\n

When I heard about the challenge I thought \u2018Ok let’s do this!\u2019 I am scared of heights and can just about go down an escalator without panicking, but the homeless face their fears everyday sleeping on the streets and I see families struggling to feed their children day in day out. So I told myself \u2018I CAN DO THIS\u2019 \u2013 and I did! It was an amazing experience and I was proud to be part of the Churchill team.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Churchill Foundation is a registered charity set up to enable Churchill Retirement Living to support the many local communities where it works. Other charities to benefit from the skydive include Willen Hospice<\/a> and Woking & Sam Beare Hospices.<\/a><\/p>\n
