A DARING group of fundraisers will skydive for Basingstoke’s Young People’s Independent (YPI) Counselling.
On Sunday, September 1, fundraisers including Jane Stubbs, a Tesco Community Champion, her son Thomas Stubbs, YPI vice chair, Lt Col Dan Holloway and his nephew, George Belcher, aim to leap from a plane at 13,000 ft.
Based in Basingstoke, YPI Counselling aids young residents aged 11-25 within the Basingstoke and Deane area with mental health and wellbeing.

YPI Counselling’s CEO, Sam Hussey, said: "This is an exciting fundraiser by George, Dan, Jane and Thomas that will help us to keep our counselling and mentoring services accessible and free of charge to all young people in the local area.
"Every penny raised will make a difference, particularly as we enter our busiest period of the year when many young people will be returning to, or starting new schools and colleges."
