Terri Collins was due to undertake the skydive yesterday for the Counselling Partnership which is a charity she co-founded more than 25 years ago.

It provides one-to-one counselling for adults, both in person and online on a pay-what-you-can basis.

Ms Collins says “This jump is my way of showing that no matter your age, you can make a difference.

“Mental health support should never be out of reach.”

But low cloud and high winds hindered the jump despite Ms Collins gearing up and boarding the plane.

She will try again on Friday.
