#DiveIn - Princess Alice Hospice

74% of LGBTQ+ people are not confident in accessing end of life care.
Many LGBTQ+ service-users delay accessing services due to fear of discrimination.
Inclusivity can manage pain and ensure those we love have the support they need.
Later access to palliative care has been linked with shorter life expectancy, worse quality of life, greater strain on the physical and mental health of friends and family and less chance of desired end of life outcomes.

Thank you to the phenomenal Harry George Hall, who captured these beautiful images below of the Drag Divers.

It is thanks to his direction, and the overall vision of the FreshFilms production team, that our idea for this documentary was made a reality. We are so grateful to the entire team for producing the film at no cost to Princess Alice Hospice.

“I am thrilled to be a part of Drag Dive! I have chosen to take part in the Drag Dive because it’s helping raise money for a great charity and cause, plus I don’t think I have ever seen a drag Queen jump out of a plane. I was very excited, but also a little nervous, please dig deep and donate to this great charity!”

Honey Foxx is a hardworking beauty who has done it all, from starting her career on the stage at Heaven nightclub, working every weekend at the U.K.’s leading drag brunch, performing at festivals, and performing alongside Little Mix! Honey conquered her nerves to push herself to take part in this skydive.

“I chose to take part in the Drag Dive in memory of Chyna, a sister I lost to meningitis. I’ve always wanted to skydive and felt this is a great opportunity to do it, both in memory and to check it off my bucket list.”

Kiki Snatch is the unapologetic and fierce star of the London scene. She’s known for her splits, dips, tricks and all around crowd-engaging, show-stopping performances. She brought her strong and brave nature to the skydive as she jumped in memory of her incredible sister Chyna.

“I was so excited to join the Drag Dive and Princess Alice Hospice as they demonstrate such a firm commitment to inclusion and welcoming all people within the LGBTQ+ community. Love and compassion knows no boundaries. Only together can we face the major hurdles in life – just like jumping out of plane!

Plus it’s a rare chance to see a gaggle of drag queens in overalls and trainers. Falling through the sky was the ultimate wind machine challenge.”

Le Fil is a creative and life-affirming artist, who loves to play with gender and identity, and is looking to be your next Bond girl in his skydive!

“Life is terribly short so we must live each day to the full, even if that means putting on glamorous makeup and launching yourself from a plane! My aunt, Annette, was in hospice care for her end of life. She was the first family member I came out to and then the first I told about my love for drag; so when she died, her money was to go towards getting my first set of makeup, outfits and wigs for me to start my drag career. I saw first hand the importance of comfortability and personal care when you have nothing left but to spend every precious last moments with family, so fundraising for the Princess Alice Hospice is such a special cause to me, especially with it being my hometown hospice.”

Rosie Zinfandel is a born and bred Surrey queen, with impeccable style and a heart filled with compassion. She took part in the Drag Dive in memory of her wonderful aunt, and we’re so grateful to our hometown queen!

“After having spoken about my mum’s health issues on TV and her connection with palliative care, it’s something that is very poignant for me. It also helps me combine my desire to support a special cause with my adventurous and thrill-seeking spirit!”

Scarlett Harlett is the tough but caring self-proclaimed ‘Queen of the East End’. She’s a wonderful and incredibly strong Drag Queen, who skydived in memory of her mother who recently died after her battle with COPD. We’re so grateful and in awe of her for finding the strength to skydive with us during such a difficult time.
