Please note: the event below has been postponed until after February 2007 due to bad weather.
More than £600 has been donated in support of the Mayoress’s Charity parachute jump. On Saturday 2 December Anna Belsey will be strapped to a professional skydiver and jump out of an aeroplane (weather permitting).
The Mayoress of Eastbourne Anna Belsey says, “So far £600 is great BUT I’m hoping to raise even more. The jump is on Saturday and there’s still a lot of people who haven’t sponsored. As a seaside town resident I feel the R.N.L.I don’t get half the support they deserve for the job they do. So please sponsor this worthy cause.
The charity jump is one of the many things the Mayoress is doing during her year in the role to help raise money for the Mayor’s charity.
The Eastbourne RNLI are the chosen charity for this Mayoral year and the Mayoress has already raised over £600 for them from her Halloween event.
Local firm CMS have kindly sponsored the cost of the Mayoress’s jump so all monies raised from the jump would go to the Mayor’s charity.
Donations in support of the Mayoress’s charity parachute jump can be sent to the Mayor’s Office at the Town Hall, Grove Road, Eastbourne or left at the reception (cheques payable to: The Mayor of Eastbourne's Charity).
