Flying Start - TRY STARs
West Drayton, England, United Kingdom
Aim
Our aim is to help the disadvantaged young adults in UK and around the world. Through Flying Start we can help bring a positive change.
Given the current world situation, the Flight Dispatch team wanted to do something to help the youth and disadvantaged young people in the UK and around the world. They have been thinking of organising a team bonding activity for some time, which is always a challenge.
Then came along Comic Relief Red Nose Day 2024 and the Touch Rugby competition at Twickenham. We decided to reach out to our colleagues and get a team ready. The response and support have been overwhelming, with support coming from everyone within the Flight Dispatch family and beyond.
As a collective the team have designed the jersey and team logo, and are looking forward to representing Global Ops in the Touch Rugby competition, having a good game and most importantly, raising funds for Flying Start.
