Our good friends at Fire Safety Systems Nottingham have completed The Grand(ish) Tour, helping to raise funds for The School of Hope in Guatemala.

Sheldon Flanders Financial Services was proud to sponsor the guys as they made the 36-hour drive from Nottingham to Le Touquet in France, which was organised by UK-based Education for the Children (EFTC).

Not only did they manage to complete the grueling two-day adventure, but they also won! So from all of us at Sheldon Flanders, we’d like to say congratulations on your victory and well done for all your hard work raising money for such a worthy cause.

After a very successful first half of the year creating bespoke solutions for our clients, due mainly to the hard work and diligence of our staff, Sheldon Flanders decided to build on the team ethos and spend some quality time outside of the work environment.

We spent an amazing night at Nottingham Races cementing team relations, getting us ready to carry on the successes of the 1st half of the year.

Big thanks to Nathan Corden, one of the owners who ensured that we had top notch hospitality. We would thoroughly recommend the races for a great night out.

Last month, our very own Karen Sheldon — along with Simon Ward from Pro-Aktiv in Nottingham, and Matt Benselin from Go Pro Services in Long Eaton — helped raise £1669 by taking to the skies and jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet to help support the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) life-saving research.

The BHF is leading the fight against heart and circulatory disease in the UK, which is responsible for nearly 160,000 UK deaths each year – around one every three minutes. Thanks to fundraisers like Karen, Matt and Simon, the BHF will fund half a billion pounds of new research over the next five years which will be central to discovering vital treatments for people living with heart conditions.

Karen said: “Supporting the BHF was an easy decision as it’s a worthy cause. So many people are affected by heart problems and more research is desperately needed. It’s so important to support the BHF, as they don’t receive government funding for their research. As I am in a position to help, I feel I should, and I’m so glad I did the skydive.”

Sophie Parkins, BHF Area Fundraising Manager in the East Midlands, said: “We are so grateful to Karen, Simon and Matt for taking on this challenge and raising such an incredible amount of money. Skydiving is a fantastic way to do something unforgettable to raise vital funds to help the BHF continue its life-saving research. Please, join our fight for every heartbeat, and sign up to become a Heart Flyer today.”
