Why am I doing this...........

What an amazing day we all had at our annual tandem parachute jump on August 3 2024.

We had 12 people who committed to jumping from 15 000 feet from a perfectly good aeroplane. The weather was fantastic and all the brave jumpers said that they had, had a great experience. All our jumpers were handed their t shirts on completion of the jump and a Thank You certificate. We were able to raise over £4000 to support our work in our community. Thank you to all those who sponsored those who jumped and a special thanks to these brave souls.

Renewable Field Services. Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge.

On the 05 May 2024 a team of colleagues and friends from Renewable Field Services set out to attempt the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. The challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These hills form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. After a tough day in the hills the team were able to raise a wonderful total of donations of £4393.00. The donations will enable us to continue the much needed free to attend peer support groups for men. Thank you.
