Taking to the skies for charity

Satnam Singh, who is the postmaster at the Hebden Bridge Post Office, will fall from 15,000 feet to raise money for the Huddersfield-based Kirkwood Hospice.

The hospice looked after Satnam’s auntie last year, and he wanted to do something to recognise the care she received whilst there.

Satnam, 38, said: “There’s been a great response from all the customers who come in the Post Office.

“I’m a little bit nervous, but it’s for a great cause.”

The skydive, which will take place on October 19 in Hibaldstow, Lincolnshire, will be a tandem jump and will involve a one minute freefall.

Satnam has set himself a fundraising target of £2,000- to support and to donate, visit Satnam’s Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/satnam-singh1
