Looking for a new challenge? Or working through your bucket-list? Our Skydive Day is for you!
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of North London Hospice we have introduced a brand new Skydive Day as part of our challenge events. Jump on the opportunity to take on a 10,000ft tandem skydive and create an incredible memory whilst raising essential funds to support North London Hospice patients facing life-limiting illness.
You will join experienced skydive instructors from Skyline, alongside other adrenaline-seeking fundraisers at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough to embark on your Skydiving journey. Enjoy the views from 10,000ft before launching yourself into a 35 second free-fall, and getting to take in the idyllic scenery after your parachute is deployed.
How do I sign up?
A compulsory minimum sponsorship of £395 (excluding £70 non-refundable registration fee paid directly to Skyline) is required to take part in the jump, which covers your jump, and donation towards North London Hospice. Once you have registered, you will receive your free fundraising pack and North London Hospice t-shirt.
