Helping Us

Parachuting


Would you like to make an exhilarating 10,000 feet freefall parachute jump whilst supporting the Foundation? Of course you would.

Parachute

We have jumps going on most weekends at 27 sites across the UK and Ireland.

If you've never jumped before, have no fear as, after a full days training, you take a tandem jump harnessed to a fully trained instructor, freefalling the first 5,000 feet before riding the parachute down to the drop zone.

For more experienced jumpers we can now also offer solo accelerated freefall training and jumps - the first level of a professional skydiver's course.

And if you raise the minimum amount of sponsorship, then you jump free.

For the tandem skydive it's £395, and £535 for the accelerated freefall. Both amounts include tuition and the jump itself, and the Foundation will receive an average donation of £140 from the sponsorship money. Raise more than the minimum and every extra pound comes straight to the charity.

If you're in England, Scotland or Wales, you can book your jump online by clicking on Parachuting Marvin the Monster. Northern Irish jumpers should contact our Belfast office (number below).

Or for an information pack and registration form, contact your local office, with your name and postal address:
