Charity Skydive for Sophie’s Legacy: On Saturday, Ben Forster and Harry Sherwood took to the skies for an incredible charity skydive in support of Sophie’s Legacy, showing real courage and commitment to a fantastic cause.
Harry completed his jump from 15,000 feet, while Ben followed from 10,000 feet—both rising to the challenge to help raise vital funds and awareness.
We’re incredibly proud of their achievement and grateful for their dedication to supporting the important work of Sophie’s Legacy.
A huge thank you as well to everyone who donated and supported their efforts. Together, they’ve raised over £1,000, making a meaningful difference.
Army Flying museum: Director, Michaela Johns, visited the Army Flying Museum at the recent Hampshire Chamber Connects event in Stockbridge.
The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with local businesses and strengthen relationships within the regional community.
