Congratulations to our Parachute Against Poverty team!
On 19 March 2011, staff and supporters of Community Links fell through the clouds to raise vital funds to support Community Links' front line work.

Community Links' Chief Executive Geraldine Blake - who was first out of the plane (see photo) - described the event as "...terrifying but exhilarating", while a fellow parachuter from Standard Bank was so blown away by the experience that he is now wants to achieve a skydiving license!
The bravery of the team has resulted in over £3,000 being raised to support our work to tackle the causes and consequences of social exclusion in East London, and we'd like to thank all of the parachuters for taking the challenge, and for helping us to meet ours!
