Managing director Scott Whyte is leading a group of 22 volunteers who will jump out of a plane 10,000 ft above the Fife countryside on 2 May.

They will reach speeds of up to 120 miles per hour during 30 seconds of freefall before landing safely back on solid ground.

Mr Whyte said: “The thought of jumping out of a plane and plunging to the ground is nerve-racking for all of us who have agreed to do it, but it’s all in aid of such a good cause. The free lunches children get in school are often the only meal some may have that day. This leaves 90 days of school holidays per year where children could go hungry, rising to 170 days when you include weekends.

“Cash for Kids is there to help those in need who are right on our doorsteps and we’re delighted - if a bit nervous - to play our part!

He added: “I am covering the cost of the skydive so every single penny raised in donations will go straight to Cash For Kids.”
