A group of friends from Lincolnshire who met through a Boston dance school has raised more than £5,000 for children and families affected by the war in the Ukraine. The group from Boston Jive amassed the sum over the course of a year through a variety of fundraisers.
After setting a target of £5,000, they moved beyond that sum last month with the help of a tandem skydive. Taking part in the ‘Boston Skyjive’, as the group called it, were: Richard Green, 64, from Kirton, Sue Wilson, 57, from Friskney, Chris Wilson, 16, also from Friskney, Kim Wright, 63, from Woodhall Spa, Katie Garner, 29, from Wragby, and Colin Fincham, 62, also from Wragby.
Others from the group had hoped to take part, but were unable. Previous fundraisers included raffles, quiz nights, and a dance event.
On Monday, another quiz was held and there are plans for a dance (featuring rock and roll group Girl Gone Rockin’ and DJ Jive Armour) at the Franklin Hall, in Spilsby, on November 18.
