Raise Money for Charity
 
Charity Skydiving
Warwick group tandem jump - 137 in one day Charity Tandem Skydiving not only provides the experience of a lifetime, but is an exciting way to raise money for good causes at the same time. If you raise enough money your UK charity skydive will be for free.

In addition to our main parachuting centre, we also offer jumps further south in Oxfordshire & Northamptonshire.

Skydiving for free with a charity parachute jump WHAT DOES A TANDEM SKYDIVE INVOLVE?
Harnessed to the front of a qualified parachuting instructor you can experience the thrill of freefall without any extensive training. It takes 20 minutes to brief you for your charity skydive. Here at the Hibaldstow airfield, we offer the highest skydive in the country at 15,000ft giving you up to one full minute in freefall!

Find out more information about our tandem parachuting course.
 
Book on one of our charity parachuting days:
How much does it cost?
Absolutely nothing!

All it takes it a bit of time and effort to collect enough sponsorship and you can skydive for free.

Some of the money that you raise will go to the charity and some of the money will go towards paying for the tandem skydive. We ask that you raise double the cost of the jump. So if you are an individual jumping, the basic price is £230 and each person would be asked to raise £460. This price reduces if you are part of a group as we offer discounts to skydiving groups.

If you decide to book directly with Target Skysports and not through an agency,  the charity will receive more money as the agency will not take a fee.

Of course if you plan to pay for the skydive out of your own pocket yourself, then all the money you raise goes to the charity. There is no minimum amount which needs to be raised.

Sponsorship forms can be downloaded from here:

CAN I FUNDRAISE FOR MY OWN CHARITY?
Yes of course. We have links with some local charities, however we understand that some customers have their own causes which are close to their heart. Simply notify us of the name and registered charity number of your chosen charity when you book. We also have special discounted days where a Charity has organised a skydiving event that you can participate in.
How do I book?

You can call one of our team on 01132 505 600, book online or post a cheque. You need to provide the following information:

  • Choose a date.
  • Give us your age, weight and height so we can check they are within the restrictions.
  • The charity you are fundraising for.
  • Pay a deposit of £75 per person to secure your place.

On arrival at Hibaldstow airfield you will need to pay the remaining balance of £155 (or less for discounted groups) for the skydive directly to us. You will then need to hand in cheques for a minimum amount of £230 made payable directly to your chosen charity, or show proof of a www.justgiving.com account.

Please note that we only offer organised charity skydives at our northern centre at Hibaldstow in Lincolnshire.

If you have any questions at all then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Tips For Collecting Sponsorship
For those of you who have not participated in UK charity events before, we would recommend that you read the following list of tips. They will show you some of the more unusual ways to gather funds.
 
bullet Some of our supporters comment that collecting up the money is harder than taking part in the event itself! To prevent this, try getting people to give you cheques post-dated to shortly after the event date (but no more than six months), as soon as they have pledged to sponsor you.
bullet Always carry a pen and sponsorship form with you, even if you are not expecting to find a person who might agreed to sponsor you.
bullet Give sponsorship forms to friends, family, workplaces and get them out raising sponsor money on your behalf. You can even ask them to set a target to raise a set figure each.
bullet Ask your employers to match your sponsorship pound for pound, that way you raise twice the amount and your employers can get some brilliant publicity – get them to get in touch with the press. We have worked with journalists and TV crews on many occasions.
bullet Invite other people to come and do a parachute jump with you. Having your small team jump with you adds a lot to moral support and the impact against your charity.
bullet Decide a definite date when you plan to jump. People giving money to charity want to know when the happy event will be and it shows them you have actions behind your convictions. Book the course before you start collecting. Booking forms can be found here.
bullet Get your closest friends / manager to sponsor you the highest amounts. This helps to set an example as to the level of sponsorship you are trying to attract.
bullet Understand the jump before you start collecting. This helps to paint a picture to potential sponsors of what you will actually achieve. You can take a print out of our information web page on Tandem parachuting.
bullet We can send you one of our promotional DVD and brochures to show what you hope to achieve to the people who might sponsor you. This has the potential to encourage those who might turn you down.
bullet Contact your local press, using our PR tips. People who know you or know of you may get in touch and support you. If you need tips on how to deal with them, we are happy to advise you. Call us on 0113 250 5600 for more information.
bullet Do you belong to any clubs or groups? Have a chat with some of your fellow members and see what ideas you can come up with together.
bullet Set a personal sponsorship target to raise and tell people how much you are aiming for.
bullet Visit the website of your chosen charity and get some facts on who you are supporting. Present the case of the charity to your prospective sponsors with quotes such as ...
“ your money will go towards xxxx ”
bullet Write to local companies asking for their support – address letters to the Chairman or Managing/ Marketing Director. Again, try to make it humorous, it will stand out more.
bullet If you are self-employed, your clients might respond to a respectful letter asking them to support you.
bullet Invest some money in a prize and hold a raffle/ competition at work and put the proceeds towards your sponsorship amount.
 
Is your charity skydive really for free?

It may seem to you that your charity tandem jump is for free. In fact, it is being paid for by the people you approach for sponsorship. It is important to recognise this when requesting funds from them as the last thing they want to perceive is that you are extracting money for your own ends.

Therefore, let them know that by doing such a challenging event, you are raising a far higher total for the charity than by doing an event such as a sponsored run or cycle ride.
