A charity for deaf people is calling on Bristolians to raise money by taking part in a sky dive.

The Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) is inviting people to sign up for tandem skydiving at an airfield near Swindon.

Places will be awarded on a first come, first served basis, and are free to fundraisers who pledge to raise £390 for RNID's research programmes and services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Caroline Jupe, RNID events and community fundraising manager, said: "If you're looking for an activity to inject some exciting action into your weekends, terminate your search now by signing up for an adrenaline-boosting RNID skydive and raise vital funds for our life-changing work!"

Places are limited so people should register their interest as soon as possible. Parental consent is required for 16 and 17-year-olds. For more information call t Caroline Jupe on 0845 634 0687,
