Skydive for CHICKS

We have teamed up with UK Skydiving Adventures to offer you the chance to take part in a charity skydive for CHICKS.

Why not raise money for charity whilst having fun at the same time! It is now very popular for people to do something quite out of the ordinary such as jumping from a perfectly good aeroplane to raise money for a worthwhile cause. Skydiving is considered an extreme sport, not something for the faint hearted and so worthy of you asking your friends and family to sponsor you!

There are two options for you to consider when raising money by taking on a skydive for CHICKS.

Option A:

It is common practice for fundraisers to use some of the sponsorship money raised to pay a portion or the total cost of their jump if they have raised the minimum level of sponsorship. The level of sponsorship required will vary for each centre depending on the cost of the course however by raising at least double the price of your jump, you will satisfy the charity’s expectations.

E.g. if a Tandem Skydive at your chosen centre is £250, you will need to raise at least £500 in sponsorship money, so that £250 covers the cost of your skydive with the remaining £250 or more going to charity.

If you raise less than expected, the amount is divided into two equal portions. E.g. if you only raise £300, £150 would go towards the cost of your skydive and £150 would be donated to your charity.

Please note that whilst you jump for free if you raise the minimum sponsorship money, it isn’t truly a free jump, as part of the money covers the course cost. Whilst this is considered to be acceptable as skydiving is considered to be more challenging than some more traditional fundraising events, please bear this in mind making every effort to raise more than the amount required to help your chosen charity.

Please also note that if you chose to have your skydive videoed (Tandem & AFF Level 1), you cannot claim this cost back from your sponsorship money.

Option B:

Why not still raise money for charity, whilst also paying for the jump yourself? Despite it now being accepted for charities to pay for people to skydive for charity in return for a donation that they wouldn’t have normally received, what would be even more fantastic is for all of the sponsorship money raised to be donated to your charity!
