Santa jumps start from November 1 and will take place at the Sky Centre in Garvagh.

Hospice Fundraiser, Karen Dunlop is encouraging people to sign up for this festive fundraising challenge.

“We are appealing to the public to help us get 25 Santa’s to take to the skies to round off our special 25th Anniversary year. Why not celebrate Christmas in style this year and do something extra special for your local hospice?

‘We are asking for a minimum sponsorship of 350, with every 100 sponsorship received helping to fund a night of care for one of our patients over this very special time of year. As an added incentive, anyone who can organise a group of 10 jumpers will receive a free skydiving fleece for their efforts!’

For further information on taking part in the Santa Jumps contact Karen Dunlop, Community Fundraising Team on 028 9078 1836 or email [email protected]
