Make a parachute jump for Special Olympics GB! Parachute Jump for Special Olympics GB

Support Special Olympics GB by making a sponsored tandem parachute jump
- a once in a lifetime experience!

The jump is free if you raise the minimum amount of sponsorship money of £395
and is available throughout the year.


This 10,000 ft freefall parachute jump is called a tandem skydive as you freefall through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet, but are harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all-times throughout the descent. The jump and training are completed in one day.

There are 20 parachute centres across the UK where you could take part: Errol; Grange-over-Sands; Lancaster; Durham; Bridlington; Brigg; Nottingham; Whitchurch; Swansea; Horniton; Cornwall; Oxford; Cirencester; Salisbury; Swindon; Peterborough; Norwich; Cambridge; Norwich and Maidstone.

Please contact Clarisse Lang on 020 7247 8891 (Ext 208) for further information.
