If there’s a greater adrenaline rush than hurling yourself out of a plane at 10,000ft, we’ve yet to find it.

During a tandem skydive you’ll experience freefall speeds of up to 120mph as you plummet through the sky while safely strapped to an instructor.

Before your jump you’ll receive a full safety briefing and a 30-minute training session, then you’ll board the plane to prepare for an experience you’ll never forget.

Sightsavers’ fundraising skydives are organised through Skyline Skydiving, a member of the British Parachute Association. Note that all airfields have a weight limit for parachuting, usually around 15 stone (95kg).

Read Skyline Skydiving’s frequently asked questions to learn more about booking, fundraising and what to expect on the day.

1. Choose your venue

There are more than 20 UK airfields to choose from, and you can pick a time that suits you. See the Skyline Skydiving website for details. Before you jump you’ll receive essential safety training.

2. Pay your entry fee

A £70 deposit is required when you book. If you can pledge to raise at least £395 for Sightsavers (or £450 in Scotland and Northern Ireland), you won’t pay another penny – your jump will effectively be free.
