NEW Fountain Inn in Church Road Whimple has raised £1255 by holding a Quiz and Chill night at the pub on Sunday (July 21).

The money will be donated to Mind, a mental health support charity. On August 31 staff from New Fountain Inn Jessica, Lilo & Kaya are taking part in a charity skydive.

A JustGiving page was set up by Jessica Burt, and aims to raise £1,500 for Mind, as from today (July 29) they have raised £190 through family and friends.

The charity quiz night is part of the fundraising appeal before the skydive at the end of August.

A spokesman said: "We will be taking a leap of faith—literally! We will be skydiving from 15,000 feet, all in the name of a cause that's incredibly close to our hearts: mental health.

"We are raising funds for Mind, a charity dedicated to providing support and advice to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. Mind also campaigns to improve services, raise awareness, and promote understanding of mental health issues. With your support, we can help ensure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

Mental health affects us all. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or ourselves, many of us have experienced the challenges of mental health issues.

"We need your support to make this skydive count. By donating, you’re not just supporting us in our daring adventure, but you’re also making a real difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health issues. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us reach our fundraising goal and supports the incredible work that Mind does every day.

"Thank you so much for your support. We are incredibly grateful for any contribution you can make. Together, we can make a real difference."
