We are looking for people from all over the UK to make a sponsored parachute
jump on our behalf and in return we are willing to pay for it! You can choose
from 25 British Parachute Association approved centres and when you do it!
There are three different types of parachute jump for you to choose from:
10,000ft Tandem Skydive, 3,000ft Static Line Solo Jump or the Accelerated
Freefall Jump – 10,000ft solo but with two instructors by your side. We ask
you to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship money in order for you to jump for
free (from £360 depending on the type of jump you choose) and in turn we will
receive an average donation of £140. In addition to this, every extra pound
that you raise over the minimum comes straight to the charity, so please try to
raise as much as you possibly can!
The event is arranged by professional events organisers Skyline who receive a
flat rate per jumper for organising the jumps for us. Skyline specialise in
organising fundraising events for charities .
Our first jumper reports:
" I saw the wanted poster , it was some thing I've always thought I
would like to do but would never gotten around to organising. then when I found
out about the charity it was something I realised I had to do . having done the
tandem jump, I can honestly say it was one of if not the most exciting and nerve
racking things I have or am ever likely to do! The jump centre were
fantastic and made the whole experience a fun one which helped me to enjoy
the jump. It wasn't as hard to raise the money needed as I first thought and
was definitely worth the small amount of effort for the massive return for me
and hopefully the trust as well . I would urge anyone who ever thought they
might like to do it, stop thinking and do it and if your going to do it
what better way than for a worthy cause. Thanks to the XLP Trust for giving
me the opportunity to achieve an ambition, I just hope that it makes a
difference !"
