DAREDEVILS from Dorset law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors are set for a sponsored skydive in aid of a children’s hospice charity.

The seven-strong team are taking the leap in the Big Jump for Julia’s House this weekend.

They hope to raise more than £3,000 from the fundraiser for the charity, which has hospices in Dorset and Wiltshire.

Team captain Georgina Wright has recruited team members from the law firm’s six offices for the skydive.

Georgina, marketing and events manager at Ellis Jones, said: “Julia’s House provides practical and emotional support for families that are facing unimaginable heartbreak: the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood.

"It provides frequent, flexible care for children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and support families in their own homes, in the community or at hospices and gives their parents a much-needed break.

“We have a squad of brave Ellis Jones staff who are willing to jump for such a great cause and we would be grateful for any sponsorship to help Julia’s House to continue to support so many families at a time when they need it most.”
