working in support of Childline and the NSPCC

Emergence-SKI is a 14 day challenge around the UK on Sea-Doo personal watercraft. The team are drawn from the Police and other emergency services, who through their work deal with the children as victims. Their experiences with victims has inspired them to do more by drawing attention to the work of the NSPCC and ChildLine and raise much needed funds for the cause. The aims are:

To attempt to safely circumnavigate the UK in 14 days using two Sea-Doo personal watercraft and 2 riders
To use the event as a conduit to raise funds for ChildLine
To use the event to assist in the promotion of the ChildLine / NSPCC helpline
To raise funds by way of Charity Events on the challenge route
To educate and promote the safe and considerate use of PWC
To provide an educational tool in conjunction with the National Curriculum.

Revised dates for Emerence-SKI
Sue Baker team manager has announced that due initially to the fuel crisis and shortages the dates of the challenge have been revised to enable the team to support and attend the many more local and national fundraising opportunities to increase further the money that can be donated to ChildLine.

Poole Afloat boosts funds:
Sue Jo LP last weekend were kindly invited to Poole Afloat and then Cobbs Quay and they wish to thank the organisers for their support on behalf of Emergence-SKI and ChildLine. The events were an ideal opportunity for us to promote ChildLine and our challenge and we also collected £185 which we will be putting onto our 'Just Giving' page.
