We need your full £430 fundraising target, to be with us by this date we can cover your jump costs for you (around £200).
The one aspect of your day that is out of our control is definitely the weather – if the forecast is looking bad in the days leading up to your jump, you may be contacted by the airfield to reschedule. However, if you have not heard anything to the contrary, you must still turn up to your jump.
Unfortunately, we can't be at all 20 airfields - as much as we would like to be! We will make every effort to attend as many locations as possible, but because of how spread across the country the airfields are, we may not be able to make it to your local area.
Yes it's possible to have your jump filmed at a cost of around £100 (varying depending on the airfield). You will need to arrange this directly with Skyline by emailing them on [email protected].
However, if you raise a minimum of £1000 by the fundraising deadline, you can have your jump filmed for free! If you raise £1000 by 25 April 2025, we will will cover this cost for you as a thank you for raising such an incredible amount for us!
Once you have your skydive booked in, Skyline will send you a confirmation email with everything you need to know. You can also check out Skyline's FAQs which has lots of useful information to help you prepare for the big day!
