Yesterday our founder Jess jumped from 12,000 feet - all in support of our official charity partner, West Kent Mind.
It was a day full of courage, community, and compassion as Jess joined an incredible group of fundraisers (including several of our TN card partners) to raise money and awareness for mental health support in our area. We’re delighted to share that Jess raised £755, plus £168.23 in Gift Aid - a total of £923.23! Even more inspiring, the full team raised an amazing £9,000 for West Kent Mind.
Our group skydive came about after a powerful moment at our January Small Business Talks - our regular business workshop series for TN card members. During the winter session, Stevie Rice, CEO for West Kent Mind, spoke so openly and honestly about the urgent need for more funding to sustain the charity’s vital services. Her words struck a chord with many of us, and in that room of small business owners, hands went up to help. That genuine moment of connection turned into action, and eventually, a plane full of people skydiving for mental health!
We’re so grateful to the following TN card partners who joined us in the skies for West Kent Mind: Caracol Camping, Coach Sumiko, Give Them Social, Acer Insurance and GM Valentine Family Funeral Directors. And a personal thank you to ABMV Chartered Accountants, who donated to our JustGiving page so generously.
Huge credit also goes to Stevie, Ceri, Hannah, and the amazing West Kent Mind team — not just for organising such a memorable event, but for jumping too!
Our charity partner: West Kent Mind is at the heart of the ethos of the TN card - to support and strengten our community. As the TN card's official charity partner, they receive 10% of all TN card membership sales, proceeds from fundraising events through the year and ongoing support and awareness on our platforms. We are on track to have donated over £30,000 to the charity by the end of our sixth year.

Thank you to everyone who donated, jumped, or simply cheered us on. This is what community looks like and and we couldn’t be prouder.
