Sales Advisor takes to the skies for Muscular Dystrophy UK charity

20 September 2026

Kelly Rees, Sales Advisor for out South Midlands region, has taken on a thrilling challenge as part of a team of 20 to raise almost £13,000 for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Kelly, who is local to Bristol, joined the team to take part in a skydive in support of MDUK, which connects a community of more than 110,000 people living with one of over 60 muscle-wasting and weakening conditions, as well as the people around them. The charity aims to ensure everyone can access the healthcare, support and treatments they need to feel good, both mentally and physically.

Kelly is a Sales Advisor at Persimmon Homes South Midlands’ Regents Village development in Cheltenham, which is delivering a mixture of 266 zero carbon homes and apartments on the edge of charming Swindon Village.

Kelly was proud to take part in the challenge and help raise vital funds for MDUK, commenting “Taking part in the skydive was such an amazing experience, and I am proud to have been part of a team that has raised almost £13,000 for such an important cause. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported us and helped us reach such a fantastic total.”

Vanessa MacNee, Sales Director at Persimmon Homes South Midlands, added “It is fantastic to see Kelly taking on such a challenging experience and helping to raise an incredible amount for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Kelly is a valued member of our team at Regents Village, where she plays an important role in helping customers find their new homes and supporting the development as it continues to grow. It is amazing to see her representing the team and making such a positive contribution beyond her day-to-day role.”
