Matilda and Jackie’s skydive for Families Supporting Care

Matilda Webster is raising money for Families Supporting Care

Skydive · 25 July 2026

In 2011 friends of Woodlands and Hill Brow set up the registered charity Families Supporting Care. The aim of the charity is to help support residents whose funds diminish during their stay alongside providing additional relief as required. Over the last 10 years the charity has helped over 60 residents stay in their chosen care home. The charity is independently managed by the trustees, all of whom have experienced a loved one in care and can often be seen volunteering around the homes. Funds are generally raised through a number of social events held throughout the year. The charity also receives individual donations from relatives and residents which help the charity fulfil its aim. Your donation today helps the charity provide ongoing support to those in need. Thank you

Story

Hello!

I (Matilda) have worked in a dementia care home since March 2023 and my grandmother was cared for in this home at the end of her life. Many families struggle with the cost of care and Families Supporting Care provide support for such families to allow their loved ones to remain in their chosen care home. Over the years the charity has helped over 60 residents stay in their chosen care home.

Myself and Jackie (combined age of 98- Jackie is 81 but she will be very unhappy with me for saying that!) are doing a skydive on the 25th July to raise funds for Families Supporting Care. Jackie is a long time family friend who looked after me and my sister when we were young and has been part of my family for over 50 years.

Any donations to our cause would be very gratefully received. Anyone who wants to come to watch the jump is more than welcome. :)
