Lifeworks Soaring Hearts: Skydiving for a Sensory Room

Three remarkable Lifeworks staff members from our Torquay Adult Learning Disability residential home, Sesame, along with a dedicated parent, embarked on an awe-inspiring journey to raise funds for a cause close to their hearts—a new sensory room. Their adventure took them to the skies, where they soared like never before at SkyDive  Buzz 

Meet Joanne, Stacey, and Chacko, the compassionate staff members who work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment for the residents they care for. Their commitment to enhancing the quality of life for adults with learning disabilities knows no bounds. Alongside them was Sarah, a parent who has witnessed the positive impact of the residential home on her child's life.

The staff and community rallied behind them, offering support and donations that poured in, like droplets of kindness. Together, they are raising funds for a new sensory room, a sanctuary where the residents could explore their senses, find calm in chaos, and experience the world in a whole new way.

The Skydive was a breath-taking moment, an exhilarating rush of adrenaline that mirrored the heights of their dedication to their cause. As parachutes opened and they glided back to solid ground, their smiles could have lit up the entire region. The jump was not just about conquering fears; it was about conquering the barriers that often restrict the experiences of those with learning disabilities in Devon.

This remarkable journey wasn't just about a skydive; it was a testament to the power of compassion, unity, and the boundless spirit of giving. Torquay's sky was brighter that day, not just because of the sun but because of these four incredible individuals who dared to dream big, to reach for the sky, and in doing so, touched the hearts of an entire community.

Their legacy will forever be etched in the joy-filled moments of those who will benefit from the new sensory room—a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity.
