Brave team members from Suffolk preparing for charity skydive

Three brave members of the Persimmon Homes Suffolk team will be taking to the skies later this month as they prepare to complete a sponsored skydive.

Sales Manager Ben Bird, Accounts Assistant Maddison Brown and Operations Manager Gary Simms will leap from an aircraft at Beccles Airfield on Saturday 26 September, raising vital funds for Lighthouse Charity. 

The team has chosen Lighthouse as their Charity of the Year, and are keen to raise as much as possible for the charity, which is dedicated to providing emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families. 

For Ben and Gary, this will be the second time they have taken on such a challenge but for Maddison this is her first experience.

The skydive forms part of the teams ongoing support for Lighthouse, helping to raise both funds and awareness for the charity's work across the construction sector. 

Supporters wishing to contribute to the team's fundraising efforts are encouraged to donate via their fundraising pages:
