An anti-gang campaign hit new heights last week as they took part in a sponsored sky dive.

The Lives Not Knives team had ten members who jumped out of the plane on May 31.

There were also three people from Beat Bullying, another campaign group, who were fundraising on LNK’s behalf.

The team have raised £4,000 and counting which will go towards putting on workshops in schools and colleges. They also want to run roadshows across Croydon and Bromley.

Managing director Monique Rebeiro said: “Not one jumper returned to the team without a huge grin, excitement could not have been contained after such a sense of achievement .

“The Parachute Centre provided us all with certificates and the LNK team presented us with badges of bravery. Which was all topped off with a glass of bubbly.”
