Our fundraising skydive is back for its third year! This time, we’re honoured to have Emmaus Ambassador Jay Flynn MBE join the team.

Jay Flynn, known as Radio 2s Quizmaster and for his weekly virtual pub quizzes, is braving the 13,000 feet drop to raise money and awareness for Emmaus Colchester. Jay joins a group of local fundraisers from businesses and organisations across Colchester, as well as two Emmaus companions to take on this adrenaline fuelled challenge!

Last year, our fundraisers collectively raised £4,142 and we’d love to see that doubled this year. The skydive is a great opportunity for us to partner with local companies but also for companions, it’s a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that builds confidence and self-esteem.

The funds raised through this challenge will help our community to support more people out of homelessness, and provide training and volunteer opportunities for companions to help them take the next steps in re-building their lives.

Jay shares “I will be skydiving with other incredible fundraisers and also companions from Emmaus Colchester, raising vital funds at time when they need it most.

With lived experience of Homelessness myself, it is a true honour to be an Ambassador for Emmaus UK, supporting Emmaus and the work they do as the continue to help and support so many people in need right now.”

Jay will be fundraising for the next month before joining us on Saturday 14th June, you can donate and support him here
