Charity Tandem Skydiving

Do a skydive and make a difference!

Charity Parachuting Information

Tandem skydiving in the UK provides the experience of a lifetime and is a great way to raise funds for a good cause at the same time. Plus if you raise enough sponsorship your charity jump could be for free.

It takes just 20 minutes to be briefed and then you will jump harnessed to the front of a fully British Skydiving qualified Tandem Parachuting Instructor and experience the thrill of 120mph freefall. You can do a sponsored skydive on any date that Skydive Hibaldstow is open (subject to availability).

How Does A Charity Skydive Work?

There are two options when it comes to doing a sponsored skydive:

You can pay for the skydive yourself and every penny you fundraise goes to the charity.
Or, you can have the cost of the skydive covered by the charity providing you raise a certain amount (typically around £300-£400). Doing it this way, your skydive is free.

It is important to recognise that although it seems you are skydiving for free, the tandem parachute jump is being paid for by the charity and the people supporting your cause, so you should try to raise as much as possible over the minimum target.

It is also important that you contact your chosen charity and agree the use of funds and the minimum sponsorship required with them directly.

Can I Choose My Own Charity?

Skydive Hibaldstow has links to several local charities. However, we understand that you might want to choose a charity close to your heart.

By booking directly with Skydive Hibaldstow and not going via a agency, all the funds raised only go two ways – to cover the cost of your charity tandem skydive and to the charity itself.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BOOK MY SKYDIVE?

Arrange to send the remaining minimum sponsorship to your chosen charity within the time frame they have specified, if you have not already raised enough online.
Start fundraising! Ensure you contact the charity to register your event and obtain official sponsorship forms, so they can claim GiftAid.
You can also register to fundraise online using websites like JustGiving and VirginMoney.
On the day of your jump, if agreed with the charity, you will need to pay the balance for the skydive at the airfield. Funds raised online cannot be used to pay for this (unless you make prior arrangements with the charity).
