Take the plunge
for St Clare!
Why not take the opportunity
of a life time and enjoy the experience of a 10,000ft parachute
jump – for FREE! That’s right; you can jump for
free if you can raise a minimum amount of sponsorship for
St Clare Hospice. The Hospice that provides care to patients
with life-limiting illnesses has to raise £1.6m a year
and this is your chance to help whilst doing something exhilarating!
Mark Robinson, Corporate
fundraiser for the charity took part in a jump recently: “It’s
an unbelievable experience which I will never forget. I loved
every minute from the training before hand to the jump itself,
even if I was sweating as I took the plunge! I strongly recommend
anyone who is interested to take part. What better way is
there to raise huge amounts of money for the work of your
local Hospice and at the same time you can get this experience
for free! Don’t think about using your age as an excuse
not to take part either. We have had one supporter in his
late 70’s take the plunge for us!”
You do not have to have previous
experience, as full training will be provided and can jump
with an instructor in tandem. St Clare have 20 places to fill
so, don’t delay enquire today.

a registration call Vicky at St Clare on (01279) 773 754 or

Annual Golf
day organised by Epping Rotary Club kindly supported by Foskett
Marr Gadsby and Head Solicitors.
5th June at Saffron Walden
Golf Club
Epping Rotary Club generously
donate their time and expertise in organising this annual
golf tournament in aid of the Hospice. Last year the club
raised in excess of £15,000, funds which are very valuable,
enabling us to care for many people from the Epping Forest
area and across West Essex and East Hertfordshire.
We simply couldn't function
without the dedication of Epping Rotary Club and our other
local supporters. This year's event takes place at the superb
Saffron Walden Golf Club, which should prove to be a hit with
those taking part. There will be the usual prizes on offer
providing entertainment and a challenge, whilst raising much
needed funds!
All those who work at St
Clare Hospice wish everyone a fantastic day and a great round.
We would also like to sincerely thank Epping Rotary Club and
Foskett Marr Gadsby and Head Solicitors for their support
and commitment.
