A 69-year-old from Old Malden who has a fear of heights is to attempt a tandem skydive for abandoned children in Africa.

Denise GWatkin has been running her charity in Uganda since 2008.

“Denise’s Promise” pays for teacher’s salaries in a school there, but she also wants to now fund one student’s university fees.

The skydive is taking place on the 15^th of September and you can find out more on Denise’s GoFundMe page.
