Twelve daring fundraisers, experienced an amazing adrenaline rush as they took on a tandem skydive form over 10,000ft over Sandown Airport this Summer in aid of Age UK Isle of Wight.

 

The event was kindly supported by Wight Fire & Security, of which two dedicated staff members braved the jump themselves to support this great local cause. The weather was perfect, a clear and sunny day giving spectacular aerial views to all involved!

 

The event raised over an incredible £7,500 for Age UK Isle of Wight, all of which will stay on the Island helping to provide support and companionship to our older Island residents.

​

Elisha Leachman, Fundraising Manager at Age UKIW, said:

 

“We are extremely grateful to all of the incredible fundraisers who braved this adrenaline filled challenge and we are amazed by the amount raised this year and want to send out a special thank you to everyone involved and that helped to support this day to be a success!”
