Cost to skydive for charity
Our skydivers will need to raise their £450 a minimum of two weeks before their jump as The Aspinall Foundation will be invoiced for the cost of the jump before the day.
If you haven’t hit your fundraising target you can still take part, you will just need to pay for the cost of your skydive when you arrive to jump. Price varies depending on jump location.
What is a tandem jump like?
A Tandem skydive lets you experience free fall without the need for lots of training. You will free fall normally from at least 10,000 feet with the parachute being opened at 5,000 feet. You then get to float down the last mile with your instructor to a soft landing. This is the perfect experience for your first-time jump as you are attached to an instructor who does all of the work for you. This leaves you free to enjoy the view!
How can I book as a group?
Once you have entered your details on the first page there will be an option to tick a box and add group members. Enter the names and email addresses of everyone you would like to book in there.
If the person you would like to jump with has already booked in there is a Group Member Info box on the second page of the online booking form – just quote the name of that person in that box and we will group you in together!
When should I start fundraising?
You can start fundraising straight away, however most people book on and will start fundraising once the date is confirmed.
What about the weather on the day?
The one aspect of your day that is out of our control is definitely the weather – if the forecast is looking bad in the days leading up to your jump, you may be contacted by the airfield to reschedule, and you are free to contact the airfield yourself to ask about whether the jump will be going ahead. However, if you have not heard anything to the contrary, you must still turn up to your jump.
