Well Done Jules!















Congratulations to Julie for completing her skydive on Saturday in aid of Action for Children.

As promised the pictures have arrived!

The weather was fantastic and the team celebrated her safe descent with a BBQ – the pilot even flew the plane over the garden as promised.

Thank you to all of those who sponsored Julie making us 37% closer to reaching our target. This is fantastic and very much appreciated.

We are now looking ahead to Byte Night on October 2, where all of the team will be sleeping rough for one night to experience what it is like to be homeless.

We are hoping this will allow us to reach our £3,000 fundraising target and make a big difference to young people across the region.

Action for Children has helped over 19,000 children in the North East over the past year and it relies on support from the business community to continue its work.

If you would like to get involved in Byte Night please click here and please also visit our JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/bond-solutions if you are able to sponsor us and help change the lives of children across the country.

JULIE TAKES THE PLUNGE

We hope you will all join us in wishing our financial controller Julie Curtis good luck for her skydive on Saturday.

The jump, taking place at Peterlee Airfield, is in aid of Bond’s chosen charity Action for Children whom we have pledged to raise £3,000 for this year.

As a foster carer, Julie is passionate about helping young people and she is hoping to raise a substantial amount of money for the Charity - which has helped over 19,000 young people in the region over the past year.

Fostering Solutions, whom Julie and husband Derek foster through, has kindly paid the cost for the jump, meaning all sponsorship money raised will be donated directly to Action for Children.

We have so far raised 15% of our target following the Coast to Coast cycle which our technical director Peter Clark did with three friends last month, so we still have a way to go before reaching our goal.

The Bond team will also be sleeping rough for one night on October 2 as part of Byte Night North East.

If you would like to sponsor Julie in her jump please visit our JustGiving page at www.justgiving.co.uk/bond-solutions. For further information about Action for Children please click here.

Photographs of Julie doing her jump will follow next week!
