Minimum sponsorship: £395
Skydiving is an unforgettable experience, whether you are celebrating a milestone, facing a fear, or finally taking on something you have always wanted to try, all while supporting people affected by brain injury.
Our preferred skydive provider, Skyline, will organise all the logistics of your tandem skydive, with a choice of 20 airfields across the UK and dates to suit you.
After your sign up, Skyline will be in touch with you to plan your big charity tandem skydive.
Cost to skydive for charity
To book your skydive, you pay a £70 registration fee and aim to raise £395 in sponsorship.
We ask that you try to raise the £395 before your jump, as this covers the cost of your skydive.
If you have not raised the full amount by the time you jump, that is okay. You can still take part. You will simply need to pay for the skydive on the day.
Don’t worry, many people feel nervous about fundraising at first, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
“I would recommend doing it, even if it's to tick it off the bucket list. I think it helped me massively knowing that I was helping out a charity close to my family, especially with my fear of heights, it gave it more meaning and gave me more motivation and determination. My top tips would be: breathe, talk to the instructors to keep you calm, and definitely try to take friends/ family with you!”
