An insurance broker is set to take on a charity skydive to support children with disabilities and their families.

Danielle Drew from Howden Eastbourne will jump from 12,000 feet to raise funds for the Children’s Respite Trust.

The charity supports children aged two to 19 with a wide range of physical and learning disabilities across Sussex and beyond.

Ms Drew has already surpassed her £1,000 fundraising target and said: "A huge thank you to everyone who’s generously donated so far.

"I’m honestly so grateful for every single person cheering me on.

"Every pound helps the charity and, as I’ve promised to post the full skydive video, every pound gets you closer to watching me free‑fall from 12,000 feet in pure chaos."

The Children's Respite Trust supports children aged two to 19 with physical and learning disabilities, offering care at home, through regular activities, and at a private respite centre.
