SLT dives for Speakeasier

On Saturday 21st August 2010, speech and language therapist, Nazia Rizwan, took her first ever tandem skydive and raised over £300 for Speakeasier.

We are now looking for volunteers to repeat Nazia’s success. If you would like to experience a truly fantastic opportunity to participate please let us know. Subject to raising adequate initial support, skydivers will dive at the Duke of Gloucester Barracks in Gloucestershire during summer 2011. We have a group skydive planned for 29th May 2011, so why don’t you get involved too?

Founder and Chairman of Speakeasier, Steve Brisk, who has himself skydived for the charity says “I’m sure anyone who volunteers to skydive will find it a brilliant experience and Speakeasier will hopefully get a much needed injection of cash from sponsorship.”
