GERRI Harrison, fundraiser of the Somerset branch of the British Red Cross, is making a sponsored parachute jump at Dunkeswell Airfield next Wednesday (May 7).

The event is part of Red Cross Week, which sees house-to-house and street collections across the county to fund services such as emergency response, transport and escort, medical loan, home from hospital and support to asylum seekers.

For more details of Gerri's jump from 10,000 feet, see this Friday's County Gazette.
