One of the first sponsored teddy bear parachute jumps in Scotland will be held in Dundee to raise money for impoverished Zimbabwean youngsters.
Organised by businessman Alan Calder-McNicoll, dozens of teddies will “jump” from a window 30ft above the ground at Mains Castle on Saturday September 8.
Cash raised will go to a soon-to-be-launched apprenticeship scheme to tackle shocking levels of unemployment in Gweru, Zimbabwe, said to be among the highest in the world.
Mr McNicoll, 69, said: “The teddies are symbolic of the children in Gweru — thrown out and unloved.”
