Join Jamie Sleight and Alex Subham from Sky Shop Leeds Trinity in an awe-inspiring wing walking challenge that’s not just about defying gravity—it’s about improving lives in Burmantofts.

Together, they’re stepping up (and out) to support the heartwarming cause of the Burmantofts Senior Action community group (BSA). Between them they are hoping to raise £1,200 for the lifeline organisation.

Jamie Sleight said: “Sky and BSA share a bond that goes beyond the ordinary. It’s a special relationship built on mutual support, respect, and a shared commitment to enriching the lives of older persons in our community. The team at Sky Shop Leeds Trinity has been passionately involved in fundraising and supporting BSA throughout the year, but this event aims to soar even higher.

“Myself and Alex will tackle the skies, mounted on the wings of a plane, all in the spirit of charity. Every loop, roll, and breathtaking maneuver is dedicated to the older persons who’ve given so much to our community. Now, it’s our turn to give back.

“Your support can propel this cause to new heights. Even the price of a cup of coffee can make a significant difference in the lives of those we aim to help. Whether you’re cheering from the ground or donating to fuel our mission, every gesture of encouragement helps us support the invaluable work of the Burmantofts Senior Action Community Group.”

Support independent community journalism!

East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.

Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.

East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.

Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.

Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
