Funding Futures 4 to take part in fundraising sky dive today

Sophie Calderley, Nicha Miller and mother and daughter Siobhan Mitchell and Lily Morris all work for Funding Futures which created the Leap For Her Future campaign.

The courageous foursome are aiming to raise £3,000 to support the CIC’s (Community Interest Company) work with women across Greater Manchester.

Sophie is an educator, mentor and project coordinator, Nicha is an educator and content creator, Siobhan is an educator, mentor and project coordinator and Lily is an educator.

Funding Futures helps women who are not currently in employment, education or training to achieve qualifications, develop new skills, gain confidence and take positive steps towards employment, further education and greater independence.

Many of them have faced significant challenges and barriers in their lives. Now, through accredited courses, tailored support and opportunities for personal development, they are helped to unlock their potential and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

The Leap For Her Future campaign was created to both raise funds and awareness of the organisation’s work and also to inspire others to support the cause and help Funding Futures reach more women.

Commented Sophie: “This year is about letting go of fear and comfort. So all I’m going to think of is letting go of that plane on the day.

“The reason we are doing this is to raise money and offer more wraparound support for more women Funding Futures gives every woman an opportunity to pursue the future they want.

“The money raised will be going towards a brighter future for so many women in the local area.”

The jump takes place at the Black Knights Skydiving Centre in Lancaster on Friday, June 19.
