Nine people participated in last year’s event which saw them fly up to 12,000 feet and free-fall for 40 seconds, before their parachutes were opened.

The event raised more than £5,000 for the charity and was hailed a ‘fantastic success’ by Rachel Blair, the charity’s community fundraiser.

She said: “We were so grateful to the nine people that took part especially as some were very nervous – a sky dive is a real challenge and people definitely earn their sponsor money.”

Money raised from the event will go towards helping people that turn to the service for advice, a hot breakfast or long-term residential support.

Rachel said: “I would definitely encourage anyone who has thought about doing a sky dive before to get in touch.

“With such a demand on our services, we are always in need of support from our community and this is a fun and enjoyable way to do it.”

For more information, call Rachel on 01903 286480 or email [email protected]. A registration form for the sky dive can also be downloaded from www.wchp.org.uk
