Our Services

14 brave fundraisers, aged from 17 to 91 years old, recently jumped out of a plane to raise over £6,500 to support our vital services.

Joan Livingstone, the oldest skydiver at 91, was the last to jump from over 10,000ft with a crowd of friends, supporters and other skydivers to cheer her on. Read her story and watch the amazing video from her skydive here.
