- It’s Raining Bens n’ Friends A charity skydive powered by pure BENergy! I'm joining a full team of Bens and friends and will be taking the leap to raise money for causes that genuinely matter. For this jump, I am proud to be supporting Mind, a leading mental health charity that works to ensure everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve. Mind provides vital information, advice and services to help people better understand and manage their mental health, while also campaigning to improve services, raise awareness and challenge stigma across the UK. This fundraiser is organised by COBWOB Community Interest Company (aka The Council of Bens), bringing people together through community events, challenges and slightly ridiculous ideas that end up doing a lot of good. How the fundraiser works Each skydiver has a £500 fundraising target. Once that target is reached, the £240 skydive cost for that participant will be covered. All remaining funds raised will be donated to Mind to support the incredible work they do helping people access mental health support and services. All donations from this campaign will be received and managed by COBWOB Community Interest Company, who are organising the skydive event. Why donate? Because watching 20 people willingly fall from the sky should at least raise some money for good causes. Every donation, big or small helps push the total higher and increases the amount we can give back to the charities doing important work every day. So whether you're here to support a friend, back an incredible cause, or simply want to sponsor a falling human… Thank you! Funds raised will be used to: • Cover the cost of the charity skydive for participants (£240 per skydiver) • Donate all remaining funds to Mind to support their mental health services and support programmes
