Are you finding life a little boring? Are you looking for thrills, adventure, or even just something a little different to do this new year? Then we have just the thing for you...

Jump for Age UK!

We're looking for people from all over the country to get involved and skydive. The great news is that you can jump for free - all we ask is that you raise a minimum level of sponsorship.

Tandem Jump

The most popular of all the jumps. You'll be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times through your 10,000ft descent.
 
Min Sponsorship: £395
Booking deposit: £70
When: Year round
Where: UK Wide 
 

Other jump options

Accelerated Freefall: If you're feeling really adventurous you might like to opt for this jump. You'll receive a full day's ground training from two fully qualified instructors before you skydive solo from 10,000 feet.

Static Line: This jump allows you to jump solo from up to 3,000 feet, having received a full days instruction from qualified instructors. You will be attached to a 'static' line, which is designed to automatically open your parachute for you as you exit the aircraft.

For more information on these jumps please contact events@ageuk.org.uk or call 0203 033 1725

What's stopping you?

  • Too scared? You will be jumping with a trained professional, so don't be.
  • Feel too old? One lady jumped at the age of 85, so that's no excuse!
  • Too unfit? Anyone can take part, and we promise you will have the experience of a lifetime!
  • Think you can't fundraise? Nonsense, we have hundreds of ideas to help you reach the target, and we'll support you every step of the way.

If you're still not convinced why not watch this skydive video on opens link in new window YouTube, produced by our partners Skyline, to get your adrenaline pumping! 

If you would like to experience the exhilarating feeling of a sponsored skydive, or if you would just like more information then please, call us on 0203 033 1725 or email us at events@ageuk.org.uk

What you say

Skydiver

As we left the plane I just couldn't believe I was actually going through with it. I was falling through the sky and there was no way back! When the canopy opened, I had time to take in all of the amazing views and I could even see the curvature of the earth.
