Hi,

I'm Matthew Clouter, and I'll be jumping out of a plane - for charity!

My team and I are raising money for DENS, a local charity that gives people a hand when they’re going through a rough patch, and we thought, what better way to do it than testing our nerve from 8,000 feet!

Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do, and when the chance came to combine it with supporting a cause that does so much to help the local community, it seemed like the perfect opportunity!

To keep things interesting, we’ve set a few “milestones”:

• At £250 – we give back some time and volunteer for DENS.

• At £350 – we do the skydive in a fancy dress (chosen by a company poll).

• At £500 – our target – we’ll also run a 5K in costume a week after.

• At £1000 – Naveed Sheikh, who is absolutely terrified of heights, will be dragged on the plane with us.

If you'd like to support a great cause, please donate. Every pound raised will go towards supporting the incredible work DENS does, and every pound raised will increase the odds of the team screaming slightly less on the descent.
