All jumps take place at Langar Airfield, Nottinghamshire. You can jump any day of the year (except Christmas Day!) to suit your schedule.
No experience is necessary as all training is given. In return for raising the minimum amount of sponsorship money Wakefield Hospice will pay for your jump and training and receive a sizable donation from your efforts at the same time!
From these sums Wakefield Hospice will receive an average donation of at least £160 and you will receive your parachute jump for FREE! Of course, if you raise more than the minimum, because your jump costs have been paid, we will receive the extra also!
Since starting in 2004, our sky divers have helped raise over £34120 to help benefit the patients at Wakefield Hospice, which in relative terms could pay for an in-patient bed for 75 nights. With running costs now approaching the £3 million mark (annually), we need your support more than ever and if you can help our cause, whilst achieving a life-time ambition, what better feeling could there be?
