On 21st August, our Chief Officer, Sharon Hendrie, will be stepping far outside her comfort zone and taking on the challenge of a lifetime – a charity skydive alongside Jessica Hogg, Youth Worker at Ynot Aspire. She’s also managed to persuade Danielle Wright, from her local gym to take the plunge!
Together, they’ll be jumping from thousands of feet in the air to raise vital funds for the young people we support every day.
At Ynot Aspire, young people and their futures are at the heart of everything we do. We work across Hyndburn and surrounding communities to help young people build confidence, improve their wellbeing, overcome challenges, and achieve their potential through mentoring, prevention and early intervention programmes, volunteering opportunities, and mental health support.
As a grassroots charity, the landscape of charitable funding has changed significantly in recent years. While grants continue to be an important source of income, funding opportunities have become increasingly competitive, with more organisations applying for fewer available resources. This means charities like ours are becoming more reliant on fundraising activities and the generosity of our supporters to ensure we can continue providing essential services to local young people.
Every pound raised through our skydive will help us continue delivering support that promotes positive mental health and wellbeing, helping young people develop resilience, build confidence, and access the support they need when life’s challenges become overwhelming. Mental health prevention and early intervention work has been a key part of Ynot Aspire’s mission for many years, enabling us to reach young people before problems escalate and helping them build brighter futures.
So, while Sharon, Jessica and Danielle are preparing to take a leap from a plane, we’re asking you to take a leap with us by supporting our fundraising campaign.
