TEDDY bears are being challenged to take the plunge from a Hampshire cathedral.

The sponsored teddy bear jump will take place on Friday, May 29 at Winchester Cathedral for the Action for Children charity.

The bears will have their own silk parachutes to float safely back to earth, in exchange for donations to the charity, which supports children, young people and their families.

For more information, contact Kim Appleby at Action for Children on 01329 666930.
