A sky-high challenge is calling all thrill-seekers to help raise vital funds for hospice care.
Salisbury Hospice Charity has launched its Skydive for a Nurse fundraiser, offering members of the public the chance to take part in a 10,000ft tandem skydive in support of hospice nurses who provide end-of-life care across the region.
The event will take place on Sunday, September 14 at Go Skydive in Old Sarum Park, Salisbury.
A spokesman for Salisbury Hospice Charity said: "More than just an adrenaline rush, each skydive is a tribute to the compassion, dignity, and expert care that Salisbury Hospice nurses deliver every day to patients with life-limiting illnesses."
Participants are asked to raise a minimum of £450, with every pound going towards funding ongoing care for patients and their families.

For many, the jump is deeply personal. One former participant shared: "I jumped in memory of my mum. She spent her final days at Salisbury Hospice, and the care she received was incredible. That freefall? It felt like flying with her."
The charity welcomes first-time skydivers and team entries, encouraging groups of colleagues, friends, or club members to take on the challenge together.
No previous experience is needed, as full training will be provided by instructors at Go Skydive.
During the jump, participants will reach speeds of up to 120mph.
The event not only offers a personal challenge or a way to remember a loved one but also provides an opportunity to raise funds for a vital cause.
Salisbury Hospice nurses deliver both medical and emotional care to patients and support to their families, helping them through some of the most difficult times.
Events like Skydive for a Nurse help ensure these free services can continue for those who need them most.
The charity is encouraging as many people as possible to get involved and help raise funds to support its essential work.
