You sign up and pay a £35 registration fee to Skyline. We also pay £35 to Skyline to supplement your registration fee. You then need raise £430 before the sponsorship deadline, so we can pay your jump costs (usually around £200, dependent on the airfield). This leaves us with just under £200 to continue being there for everyone affected by dementia.
9am on 24 April 2026. We need your full £430 fundraising target, to be with us by this date we can cover your jump costs for you (around £200).
If you don’t reach the minimum sponsorship target, you’ll need to pay for the cost of the jump yourself on the day, which is approximately £200. However, if you are very close to reaching your target, you can choose to make up the shortfall by donating to your own JustGiving page before the deadline. This would allow you to avoid paying the jump cost on the day.
Yes, each airfield has its own height and weight limits in place for safety reasons. Please check the Skyline website, and make sure you are aware of these limits for your local airfield before signing up.
Weather conditions are outside of our control. If poor weather is forecast, the airfield may contact you to rearrange your jump. If you haven’t heard otherwise, please still attend as planned.
Unfortunately, we can't be at all 18 airfields - as much as we would like to be! We will make every effort to attend as many locations as possible but because of how spread across the country the airfields are, we may not be able to make it to your airfield.
Yes, it's possible to have your jump filmed at a cost of around £100 - it will vary depending on the airfield. You will need to arrange this directly with Skyline by emailing them on [email protected]
However, if you raise a minimum of £1000 by the fundraising deadline, you can have your jump filmed for free! If you raise £1000 by 24 April 2026, we will cover this cost for you as a thank you for raising such an incredible amount for us!
Once your skydive is booked in, Skyline will send you a confirmation email with everything you need to know. You can also check out Skyline's FAQs which has lots of useful information to help you prepare for the big day!
