Cash handling specialists Volumatic are supporting one of their team as she takes on a daring skydive to raise funds for Myton Hospice, a local charity based near its Coventry headquarters providing end-of-life care for people living with terminal illnesses.
Lucy Allden, a business development representative, will be making the 14,000-foot tandem jump on Saturday (12 July), over the skies of Nottingham, all in memory of her beloved grandmother, Mary, who received care from Myton Hospice.
At just 23, Lucy has been with Volumatic for six years, having as an Apprentice. She says set herself a personal challenge at the start of 2025 to try new things and despite a fear of heights, chose to take the leap for a cause close to her heart.
“Volumatic agreeing to donate to my charity fundraiser is fantastic and I’m so grateful to them,” said Lucy. “The support I’ve had from family, friends and colleagues has been incredible. Doing a skydive is a big deal for me, but if it helps Myton Hospice, who supported my Nanny and my family, then I have to be brave and embrace the challenge.”
Lucy has already surpassed her fundraising target of £1,500, with all proceeds going to The Myton Hospices, who care for over 1,800 people and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire every year.
James Harris, managing director at Volumatic, added: “We’re proud to support our employees wherever possible. When Lucy told us she was doing a skydive for charity, we knew it was something we wanted to get behind. We’re delighted to be able to support her and a way to contribute to a charity that means a lot to many in our local area.”
