Longridge Activity Centre hosts Leap for Africa was an event held on February 29th (Leap Day) where brave individuals jumped the ‘Leap of Faith’ from Longridge Activity Centre’s 13 metre high platform to a trapeze a few feet away. The event was held in aid of Partners for Change Ethiopia (PFCE), the New Brainstorm School (NBS) in Uganda and Longridge Activity Centre. The Leap was organised by Cookham’s Social Action Committee and pupils from Cookham Rise and Holy Trinity schools. On the day 75 people took on the Leap for Africa, as well as Beth Morris, the contestant from 2016’s series of The Voice, who braved the jump ahead of the event.
