Greatstone local and The Jolly Fisherman regular Grant Hall volunteered to Skydive blindfolded over Kent to raise finds for Help for Heroes. In support of Grant in his attempt, the Jolly held a H4H Fun Day in the pub, which took place on Saturday 20 August 2011 to coincide with the skydive.
Grant completed his skydive in the morning. On the same day The Jolly Fisherman pub was packed from around 1pm until late in the evening, with people donating very freely to the Help for Heroes. We set out to raise £1,000 but in fact have raised just over £3,000 to date, with possibly more monies to come. Given the success of the event, it is proposed to do it again next year.
