Five daring members of a mental health charity have raised £2,500 by skydiving.

Shannon Tuffin, Sydney Burns, Jake Jones, Michelle Richardson, and Oscar Kurtyemez, members of Mind in Somerset's youth service, did the jump last week from Dunkesewell Aerodrome, near Honiton.

Skydiving experts, Skydive Buzz, assisted the five.

Ms Richardson said: "I had the best day sharing this amazing experience with my son and raising money for my daughter who attends Mind in Somerset youth groups.

"Watching Oscar dive head-first out of a plane with a smile on his face was the most surreal feeling.

"And then the feeling of falling from the sky myself was just, well... WOW!!!

"I want to go and do it all again.

"Both Oscar and I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored us to do this jump.

"Mind in Somerset have been incredible with their support for my daughter who attends Mind in Somerset youth groups and I'm glad I can give something back."

Vicky Poole, Mind in Somerset funding manager, said: "The funds raised will make a great difference to people in Somerset suffering with mental health problems, and the money raised will help finance our 57 services."
