Plummeting 13,000 feet from the sky, two Housing 21 employees took on a skydive to raise money for Alzheimer's Society.
Assistant Care Managers, Tammy Roberts and Jessica Smith at Housing 21’s Extra Care scheme, Summerfield Court in Stone, Staffordshire decided to take the leap together for a cause close to their hearts and to the hearts of the residents they support.
Speaking about the achievement, Jessica said: “We did the skydive together because it’s something we have both always wanted to do. We are not just colleagues; we have been friends for over 10 years, and we wanted to support each other. It was an amazing experience to share.”
Alongside the skydive, the pair also hosted cake sales and raffles at the scheme to raise money for the cause. So far, they have raised a total of £1,400 with donations still being made.
Tammy said: “The residents have been fully invested in us, offering lots of supportive words and reassurance in the build up to it. They were all eagerly waiting for the news that we had completed it and were safe.”
The skydive took place at Skydive Tilstock in Whitchurch, and shortly afterwards, they hosted a coffee morning at the scheme for residents and their colleagues to see photos and videos from the big day.
Donations can still be made via their Just Giving page
