Daredevil Swindon residents are being invited to take part in a charity parachute jump by the Royal National Institute for the Blind.

The RNIB is encouraging people to help raise funds to support its work with the blind.

Everyone who takes part in a jump is asked to donate between £260 and £350 minimum in sponsorship.

For tandem jumps, the briefing and jump take place on the same day.

Solo parachutists need a full day's training day with the jump taking place the following day.

All those taking part receive a certificate and have the option to have a professional video taken.

Anyone over the age of 16 who is in good health can jump. Anyone who raises the minimum sponsorship can jump for free.

Those taking part will be entered into a draw to win a weekend hotel break. For more information about the event call Gwen Pearson, Challenge Events Manager, on 01536 713631 or email parachute@rnib.org.uk
