PARACHUTE JUMPING

Imagine the adrenaline rush, leaping out of an aircraft at 10,000 ft on your own, in a tandem jump, or on a static line; just experiencing the total silence and the speed will give you one great buzz …

Imagine that as you fall into the clouds, you’ll be helping to raise money for WorldWide Volunteering.

Don’t imagine, sign up today!

Choose from three different jumps (venue permitting) and take up the challenge by yourself or ask your friends and family to join you and jump as a group!

Age and Weight Restrictions

For static, freefall and tandem jumps you must be aged 16 - 55 and weigh no more than 15 stone*.

*Restrictions may vary according to organisation and location

Sponsorship

If you raise the minimum amount of sponsorship (including charity donation) as shown in the table below – you can jump for free! (This will depend on the type of jump you choose.)

Give it a go!

Don’t delay, call us today! Help us to continue our work with young people in schools around the UK to motivate them to volunteer. Such motivation can improve a young person’s life as they feel respected and valued, often for the first time, which can lead to a brighter future for them whilst enriching local communities.

There are many organisations who can arrange your Parachute Jump / Skydive – we have listed a few here, but there are many more advertising on the internet.

You will need to arrange with the organisation you choose to jump with to donate your sponsorship money to us here at WorldWide Volunteering (WWV) – our charity registration number is: 1038253.

We strongly recommend you read the terms and conditions of each organisation carefully when planning your jump, and ensure you can meet their criteria (age/weight etc) and if needed, that you organise your own personal accident cover before you jump (the above organisations can do this for you upon request).

Group jumps are often offered at reduced rates, so why not encourage your friends to have a go too!

Fundraising for WorldWide Volunteering:

The easiest way for you fundraise for us, is to set up a Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/wwv.

Once you have set up your page, email the link to all your family and friends when you ask them to sponsor you. They can give their donation online for you.

Once you have reached your target (including the minimum charity donation) contact us with your preferred location and jump date, and we can book a voucher for you (you will need to contact the provider to make the final booking arrangements).

If you wish to fundraise in a more traditional way, please print out a “multiple sponsorship form” from our website www.Wwv.org.uk and fill out the details manually. You will need to book your jump yourself; paying both the deposit and jump amount on the day, and send us a cheque for at least the minimum charity donation together with your sponsorship form for the Gift Aid allowance.
