A TEAM of five employees from Countrywide Farmers at Defford, near Pershore, bravely undertook to skydive from 10,000 feet in aid of charity.

The five all volunteered to do the daring dive to raise money for their chosen charity Leukaemia CARE based in Worcester and are hoping to raise £2,000 from sponsorship.

Said Sally New, marketing manager for Countrywide Farmers Energy, who organised the event: "We saw this very much not only as fund raising for this important charity, but also as a team building exercise.

"Members of staff from different areas of the Countrywide Farmers site at Defford took part and we all trained and practised as a group before the dive."
