The Silver Foundation
Each year Silver has pledged to support a selected charity by donating at least 240 hours of creative brand and implementation work. The value of this work, while delivering immeasurable value in terms of building the beneficiaries profile has a financially quantifiable value in excess of £40,000.00. The chosen charity for 2007 - 2008 is The Impstart Trust (The Imps, youth motorcycle display team). Registered charity No. 296499. Please visit impsonline.com or click the left menu to experience first hand the benefit of this donation. This year we thank Suzi Perry, among others, for her generous support.
The Imps is a non-profit-making organisation that educates young people through a disciplined, dynamic and challenging programme of activities with a world-famous motorcycle display team at its heart.
The Imps Motorcycle Display Team, noted for its impeccable smart red tunics and highly disciplined spectacular show originated in the 1970’s from The Hackney Adventure Holiday Project – a charity founded by Roy Pratt MBE that provided holidays in the country for under privileged young people. Some of the children found a dysfunctional old ‘motorbike’ – one thing led to another and a motorcycle display team, uniquely comprising young people aged six to sixteen, emerged.
For more than thirty years The Imps have performed around the world to millions of people. Regular appearances on prime time television and displays at major events, such as The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, have secured a reputation for excellence. Extraordinary discipline and incredible teamwork enable The Imps to deliver shows comprising complex ‘cross-overs’ requiring split second timing, breathtaking fire jumps and visually stunning pyramids of red tunics – all served up with a dash of humour and aided by the spell-binding mini Imp mascots.
If you would like to sponsor The Imps, make a donation or support the team in any other way all at Silver will be delighted to discuss and advise you.
