We are looking for people from all over the country to make a sponsored parachute jump on our behalf and raise money to give children back their childhood.
There are three different types of parachute jumps that you can choose from. Have a look at the options below to see which one suits you and your bravery!
- 10,000 ft Tandem Freefall Parachute Jump
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Imagine being able to do this whilst harnessed to a professional freefall parachute instructor and at the same time being able to help a worthwhile charity! Stop imagining, it's real and it's happening all the time and you can be a part of it!
- Static Line Parachute Jump
Unlike a tandem jump you get to jump solo from up to 3,000 feet having had a full day's instruction from fully qualified instructors. What's more this is an ideal way to find out if you want to progress in the sport of parachuting and of course raise valuable funds for The Children's Society at the same time.
- Accelerated Freefall - Solo Skydive
If you're really adventurous why not take the first part of a professional skydivers course - also known as Accelerated Freefall (AFF Level 1 for short). You'll have a full day's ground training from two qualified instructors before you skydive solo from 10,000 feet - just like the real thing!!
