From day one, Lynsey was a huge supporter of Without Wings.

Lynsey Skelly-Martin helped wherever she could. Whether by bouncing ideas, or through providing plant-based tasters at our events.

You might also remember her from our Tales of the Unexpected event in 2018. Even though Lynsey was massively pregnant and about to pop, she still insisted on prepping and serving all the food!

As well as this, in the same year Lynsey represented her healthy eating campaign, Fresh Start, at our Complementary Health Fair. Here, she provided endless mountains of delicious free food for all to try. 

More than all of this though, Lynsey was our friend. She was a joy to bump into and generous with her time and ideas. Above all, she was full of life and totally in touch with her own humanity.

For this reason, when Lynsey’s family told us Without Wings was “the only charity Lynsey ever believed in,” we knew that however hard things sometimes seemed, Without Wings has always been worth it.

Lynsey’s Fund

This is why setting up Lynsey’s Fund for Without Wings has been such a huge honour. We are also deeply grateful to Lynsey’s family and friends for the money they have raised. As Lynsey was so passionate about self-care and especially yoga, we have agreed with her family that this money will go towards 4 of our funding pots: 

• Creative support
• Exercise classes
• Complementary Healthcare
• Exercise equipment

Any future Complementary Health Fairs will also be run in Lynsey’s memory.

Look out for Lynsey’s rainbow Lula bird! If you would like to raise money in her memory, get in touch.
