High hopes for charity sky dive
As if setting up a new business during lockdown wasn’t enough of a challenge, Lexicomm founder Anita is facing her fear of falling as she takes part in a charity sky dive next month.
The sky dive which takes place on 17th July is raising money and awareness for Acacia Family Support, a small Sutton charity that provides support to families across Birmingham experiencing pre and postnatal depression or anxiety.
Lexicomm joins fellow Birmingham marketing agency M3 to change the lives of parents in their darkest times and often with nowhere else to go.
Anita will be jumping from 13,000 ft alongside 15 other supporters and is hoping to raise thousands for the cause:
So many parents go through post-natal depression alone, but Acacia can offer them a lifeline. It’s so important to raise awareness for small charities so that families know what support is out there.
Having previously worked for a charity, I know how challenging fundraising can be, especially when traditional events can’t go ahead as planned. And, after throwing myself into a new business last year, I decided I could face my fear of falling and throw myself out of a plane!
Kate Davarzadeh, Community Fundraising Offer for Acacia, is overwhelmed by the support shown so far:
We are so grateful to everyone taking part and their fundraising efforts. Post-Covid, we are seeing a big increase in the number of families needing support. We’re so glad that more people are reaching out to us. And we couldn’t keep our services going without support from the Sutton community.
