On Sunday 18th May 2025, Briony Haley, Director at Blackhurst Budd Solicitors, took part in a tandem skydive from 15,000 feet – all in aid of Trinity Hospice. Briony’s fearless leap has so far raised nearly £1,500 for the charity, which provides vital end-of-life care to people across the Fylde Coast.
The skydive, which took place in Lancaster, saw Briony freefalling at speeds of up to 120mph before safely parachuting to the ground – cheered on by friends, family, and colleagues.
This Trinity is celebrating 40 years of continued service at their site in Bispham and throughout the year they will be hosting fundraising events to celebrate, the first being 40 Jumps for Hospice Care.
Speaking after the jump, Briony said:
“The experience was absolutely exhilarating – terrifying at first, but incredibly rewarding. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to do something so memorable while supporting a cause that means so much to me and so many others in our community.
I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who donated. Every pound raised will help Trinity Hospice continue its invaluable work, offering comfort, dignity, and care to those who need it most.”
Briony’s skydive was part of a series of fundraising events organised by Trinity Hospice, which relies heavily on donations and community support to continue delivering its specialist services to adults and children with life-limiting illnesses. The hospice, based in Bispham, is a much-loved local charity that provides round-the-clock care both at the hospice and in people’s homes.
Blackhurst Budd has a longstanding connection with Trinity Hospice, regularly supporting fundraising efforts and recognising the charity’s important role in the local community.
