Gemma Williams, Dan Williams, Emma Galbraith, Billie McGovern, Debra Walker, Chloe Walker, Sarah Price, Laura Jeeves, Stefan Ziemer and Kirsten Ziemer took part in the charity’s very first skydiving day at Dunkeswell Airfield.
As part of the tandem skydive the fundraisers had to jump out of the plane at a height of 15,000ft.
The event last month raised £3,000 for the charity. This will go to non-Government funded eye care units to aid further research into conditions that can cause devastating sight loss.
See the Future’s founder Leanne Greengrass said: “I am so proud of these 10 volunteers that skydived for See the Future. I honestly felt like one of their parents, I was so proud.

“I would like to say a massive thank you to the volunteers and their sponsors.
“The charity would not be where it is now if it was not for all of them.”
