to all of the sponsors in John's Zip Wire Adventure
"Hi John,
Last year the money we raised also enabled us to keep our branch doors open to talk face to face with local people who turn to us when they are struggling to cope. Crucially, we recruit and train new local people each year to become listening volunteers, giving them skills and experiences that support the growth and wellbeing of our community.

"Hi John,
I would be grateful if you could thank your blog readers for their support in sponsoring you and raising such an amazing amount for our branch. This will be an enormous help, especially for our small branch. The funds we raise are used for our own local activities and operational costs. None of our volunteers receive payment for their input into the branch.
Donations we receive not only enable us to respond to calls for help each year as a branch via phone, text and email, but also make a difference in our local community. For example, our volunteers deliver a range of community outreach activities, including schools, hospitals, prison and shortly custody suite.

Thank you each and every one for your generous donations which total such an amazing amount. And of course, our thanks to you for taking on this daredevil challenge and for all you do in supporting the branch.
Warm regards.
