Dilys began skydiving age 53 to help raise money for charity. Over thirty years she has now skydived over 1000 times and holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest female skydiver in the world. Aside from the fact that Dilys has a larger than life attitude, an even bigger heart and a smile to make you melt, she is also one kick ass lady! Dilys founded the charity Touch Trust and made a world of difference to so many people and their lives, being awarded an OBE for all she has done.

​

Since then Dilys has won the Pride Of Britain Award 2017, gained a silver medal in the British Parachute Nationals for Free Style, Awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at National Diversity Awards in 2014, awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Having conducted various interviews for newspapers and magazines internationally, the BBC, This Morning Show and The One Show Dilys was featured in the Secrets of Growing Old documentary alongside Grey model, Frances Dunscombe. If skydiving and global charity work were not enough to keep Dilys busy, in 2018 she scooped the JD Williams F Word commercial swiftly followed by top design house, Helmut Lang for their Fall/Winter 2018 campaign.

 

After attending the Women of the Year lunch in London, Dilys will fly off to Tokyo to talk to school children about positive mental attitude as well as visiting a care home for adults with disabilities.
