Trustee jumps from British Airways i360 for HIV charity

Funeral Director Chris Sarson successfully completes abseil from top of the British Airways i360 on Saturday (May 18) morning, raising £1,801.28 (£2,199.10 with gift aid) for Lunch Positive the HIV Lunch Club.

FRIENDS and supporters turned out at 8am in the morning to support Chris and cheer him down the 162 meter drop in his quest to raise funds for the popular HIV lunch club.

Chris said: “All funds will go to supporting the good work of this amazing charity that I’m privileged to be a trustee of. I would in particular like to make sure the new evening super club is able to carry on in the future as this gives vital access to many service users unable to make lunch club on a Friday lunchtime due to work commitments.  The evening super club meets once evey 6-8 weeks but it would be great to get enough from my sponsorship for it to be made possible on a more regular basis.”
