January 2012 - Well our year of being Bristol Airport's charity has drawn to and end and we will soon be able to confirm the final total raised. It has been a fantastic year having the link with the airport and thanks to their staff teams for their support, generosity and encouragement. The super Santa Flight was the icing on a very special cake and Springboard children were so fortunate to have been given such an opportunity. It's been a very interesting and rewarding experience and we are so thankful to all of the volunteers for their help. More news soon.
