Are you finding life a little boring? Are you looking for thrills, adventure, or even just something a little different to do? Then we have just the thing for you...

Sign up for a skydive!

We're looking for people from all over the country to get involved and skydive. The great news is that you can jump for free - all we ask is that you raise a minimum level of sponsorship.

Think how amazing it would be to close your eyes and stand at an open doorway 10,000 feet from the ground, then feel the rush of adrenaline as you leap into a free fall at over 120mph! Then the canopy opens and you glide through the sky, absorbing the tranquil atmosphere, while knowing you're supporting a worthy cause.

Watch this skydive video on YouTube, produced by our partners Skyline, to get your adrenaline pumping!

Why do a jump?

'As we left the plane I just couldn't believe I was actually going through with it. I was falling through the sky and there was no way back! When the canopy opened, I had time to take in all of the amazing views and I could even see the curvature of  the earth.'

You can choose from two different types of jump:

Tandem Skydive
A 'Tandem Skydive' is so called because you freefall through the air harnessed to a professional instructor.

Accelerated Freefall Solo Skydive
This skydive is the first part of a professional skydiving course. You will have a full day's training from two qualified instructors before you skydive solo from 10,000 feet!

What's stopping you?

Too scared? You will be jumping with a trained professional, so don't be.

Feel too old? One lady jumped at the age of 85, so that's no excuse!

Too unfit? Anyone can take part, and we promise you will have the experience of a lifetime!

Think you can't fundraise? Nonsense, We have hundreds of ideas to help you reach the target, and we'll support you every step of the way.

If you would like to experience the exhilarating feeling of a sponsored skydive, please contact Miranda Harman on 020 7239 1460 or email us
