Jordan Hume and Kathleen Dickie are gearing up for an exciting skydive to raise funds for The Little Art Stars and The Dementia Arts Trust, two charities under the umbrella of the Ayr-based Little Art School. The school, which has been operating for ten years, offers home schooling and after-school art classes for individuals ranging from six years old to the elderly.
