Team from Worthing funeral directors takes to the skies for Guild Care
and live on Freeview channel 276
The team of four from H.D. Tribe hopes to raise £2,000 with a challenge that is new to all of them.
Kieran Bolton, Ashley Rendell, Joe Chapman and Lisa John have never been skydiving before, so it will be quite a thrill to launch themselves from 15,000ft above Salisbury on Saturday.

Hide AdPeter Kennard, funeral director, said: “Thankfully, all the team will be strapped in tandem with a qualified instructor. They will experience a mind-blowing 30 seconds of freefall at a speed of 125mph before the chute is deployed at 5,000ft. This slows the descent down to around 30mph, allowing time to draw breath, enjoy the views and make a safe landing.
“None of the team have done this before and they will all be raising much-needed funds for Worthing charity Guild Care ”
Lisa, who is based at the Broadwater branch, is best known locally for her international exploits in the world of ten-pin bowling.
She said: “I got married this year, will be turning 40 and this was on my bucket list. To be able to help Guild Care at the same time is just amazing.”
