Parachute Jumps

Help us raise funds by making an exhilarating 10,000 feet tandem freefall parachute jump.  Anyone can take part as no experience is required and you can jump on any weekend of the year from an airfield local to you.

About Tandem Skydiving

Tandem skydiving is the best way to experience the thrill of freefalling from 10,000 feet whilst strapped to a qualified instructor giving you the peace of mind of having someone else in total control whilst you enjoy the view!  The whole experience from take-off to landing is about 25 minutes.  You will experience 40 seconds in freefall and you will have approximately 5 minutes under the parachute. Just imagine freefalling at 120mph, even falling past or through clouds, it's just like flying!  When the canopy opens you might even be allowed to help with the steering, all under the guidance of your tandem master or just simply enjoy the beautiful scenery below.  There is no better feeling than skydiving from an aeroplane especially when you are raising money for Iain Rennie Grove House Hospice Care!

How to Book and Costs

The minimum amount of sponsorship to raise for a Tandem Skydive is £395, (£140 goes to Iain Rennie and the rest of this amount covers the costs of the jump).  You can choose to either cover the costs of the jump yourself or raise all of the costs by sponsorship (however you must make this clear when approaching sponsors).  To help you raise funds for your jump we will provide you with a range of sponsorship materials including sponsorship forms, a fundraising web page, business cards, posters and of course lots of friendly and helpful advice!
