Take on a Skydive and help change the future
for people with epilepsy.
Have you ever wanted to do a parachute
jump? Well, here is your chance! No experience
is necessary as all training is given. So
if you would like to make a thrilling skydive
from 10,000 feet, or an exhilarating solo
jump from up to 3,000 feet, get in touch!
We ask you to raise a minimum amount of
sponsorship money, and if you raise enough
you jump for free! There are three different
types of parachute jump for you to choose
from, each with its own target - from £360
depending on the jump you choose. We will
receive an average donation of £140
per jump and in addition to this, every
extra pound that you raise over the minimum
comes straight to the charity, so please
try to raise as much as you possibly can!
The information has been written by professional events organisers Skyline who receive a flat rate per jumper for organising the jumps for us. Skyline specialise in organising fundraising events for charities so if you have any questions please ring them directly as they are in the best position to answer your questions - you can contact them on 0870 345 8000 or 020 7424 5522.
There are locations to jump from all over the UK - see the map at the back of the information pack, and dates are widely available. Do check with Skyline regarding availability.
You can download the information pack here,
which contains your reservation form, or
you can book online!
It truly is the experience of a lifetime, so book up today!
