Prince of Wales Hospice

The Prince of Wales Hospice is based in Pontefract, West Yorkshire and is passionate about supporting people with life-limiting illnesses and their families in a positive, caring and practical way.
They think of themselves as an integral part of The Five Towns community (Normanton, Pontefract, Featherstone, Castleford and Knottingley), offering round-the-clock support 365 days a year.
All of our care is free of charge to all their patients. But it is not free to provide. It costs us more than £6,000 a day to stay open, but the Hospice only receives about a third of this from the NHS. They need to raise around £4,000 a day to continue making a difference so why not take part in one of their charity skydives.
How Much Does it Cost?
You simply need to raise a minimum amount of £395 in sponsorship. This covers the deposit and cost of the skydive and a minimum donation to the charity.

Balance payable on arrival for the Tandem Skydive |

Every extra penny over this amount also goes to the charity so try and raise as much as you possibly can.
