STAFF and volunteers of a disability charity will take part in a 10,000ft skydive this weekend to raise money for childrens services.

Kim Baird, from Darlington Association on Disability's children's and young people's service, has organised the jump on Sunday.

She and a team of six volunteers will perform the tandem skydive for the charity.

She said: "I am hoping we will raise over £1,000 for Darlington Association on Disability, it will be my second skydive, the first time was such fun."

Group chairman Gordon Pybus said: "We are really pleased that Kim is organising this fundraising event and donating money to Darlington Association on Disability."
