The Tree of Hope Children’s Charity is looking for people brave enough (daft enough?) to do a fundraising parachute jump.

Three types of jump are available from more than twenty airfields in the UK. The “Accelerated Freefall” is a solo skydive from up to 12,000 feet, the “Tandem Skydive” is from 10,000 feet attached to an instructor, and there is a “Static Line” solo jump from up to 3,000 feet. All training is given and those raising from £350 can get a free jump.
