Skydive Oli Milroy from Plymstock School, March 2010

Oli Milroy is a student at Plymstock School. He has always dreamed about doing a Skydive from an early age and now that he is 16 he has decided to make the jump to benefit his community. When Oli heard about the Drake Foundation and the work it does for local volunteer and community groups he started thinking about ways to help.

Oli is a popular pupil at Plymstock School and he is often looking for ways to help his community. He has found many ways of raising money from leg waxing, netball and sponge the teacher. He is a keen outdoors enthusiast being an explorer for the 1^st Elburton unit and completed the ten tor’s several times.

Oli is also a Police cadet in his spare time, he’s completed one week’s voluntary work for the police, he has been awarded a police good citizenship award for the work he’s done within the community.

The Drake Foundation is very proud to have Oli working with them. Steve Davis the CEO of the Drake Foundation said “Oli is a remarkable young man with a passion for helping others. He is extremely motivated to support his community. All of the people I know that have met Oli are amazed by his commitment and drive”.

Oli has booked his skydive on 6^th March 2010 at Dunkeswell Airfield near Honiton. He intends to raise as much money as possible over the next few months.

The Drake Foundation will put the money into the Plymouth Grassroots Challenge; this will ensure all of the money Oli raises will be matched by the Government and then available for community groups to apply for grants.

Please help Oli raise £1,000 for Plymouth volunteer and community groups.
