FEARLESS bankers from Kidlington will be taking to the skies this weekend to raise money for charity.

Martin Fouracre and Nadia Begum work at the village’s branch of Barclays in High Street and on Sunday will be throwing themselves out of a plane.

The money they raise through their 10,000ft skydive, which their employer will match up to £750, will go towards the Make A Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.

Mr Fouracre, who manages the branch, said: “At Barclays we strive to strengthen the local communities in which we live and work by supporting a range of causes, from local schools and centres for older people to fundraising for charities.

“I am scared of heights so I am not looking forward to jumping out of a plane, but it is for a good cause.”
