Sky raising jump for rescue animals

On Monday 19th July 2021 & Saturday 24th July (Postponed from Saturday 3rd July 2021) a group made up of Margaret Green Animal Rescue volunteers, staff and supporters will be taking a leap of faith by doing a Sky dive all in aid of rescue animals. Originally planned for 2020 plans had to change and not to be defeated the fearless team are donning their flying suits in 2021 and really need you to get behind them with your donations to make it all worth while!

The jump, which is taking place at GoSkydive, Old Sarum Park, Salisbury SP4 6EB is being self-funded by the jumpers so that all the money raised is in aid of the charity, which is fabulous.

Those taking part are Sarah, Jan, Liz and Tom who will all be doing a 10,000ft jump (and who knows they may even upgrade to a 15,000ft jump!), which is a brave undertaking as none of them have ever done a sky dive before!

Sarah, one of our volunteers commented on how she feels about getting involved and why she is taking on the challenge

"I must be insane as I am not a fan of flying, heights and have a great fear of falling! I can climb up most things but struggle coming back down. When I came back down Lincoln cathedral I had to go on my behind step by step. So, why put yourself through this ordeal I hear you ask, well I like a challenge or perhaps I am just completely mad! The things I do for the animals at Margaret Green Animal Rescue has just stepped up to another level. This is definitely doing something totally out of my comfort zone and therefore ask if you can spare some pounds to sponsor me and the rest of the group we, and the animals, would be ever so grateful".

Every penny raised by the team will go directly to help care for over 1,200 animals at our rescue centres in Dorset and Devon so, please dig deep and give the team the 'lift' to get airborne.
