Skydive for charity

Completing a skydive for Dementia Carers Count will offer breath-taking views and an exhilarating rush. This challenge is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity – and whilst taking the big leap out of a plane you will be raising vital funds for dementia carers.

The day is organised by the amazing team at GoSkydive where you will be looked after by a fully qualified instructor, so no previous experience is needed. This challenge is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. We recommend that you have a fundraising target of £500*.

*participants pay a non-refundable deposit of £50 when booking.

When you sign up for one of our events as part of #TeamDementiaCarers you’ll receive:

• A dedicated member of the fundraising team to support you from the start until the finish line and beyond
• Training plans
• A fundraising guide, as well as fundraising advice, hints and tips in the build up to the event
• Your very own branded Dementia Carers T-shirt or vest
• A range of fundraising materials (collection buckets, posters, balloons etc.) to make any events you hold look amazing

Kick-start your fundraising by setting up a JustGiving page. You can easily share your page with your friends, family and colleagues on social media and email to spread the word. Plus everything happens automatically – the money you donate is sent to us, Gift Aid collected, and your sponsors thanked. Job done!

If you can and feel comfortable to, we recommend that you use the ‘story’ section on your page to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia Carers Count. We’ve found that sharing your story will inspire people to support you and help you reach your fundraising goals. You can keep track of how much you’ve raised, and post training updates on your page so that your friends and family can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your JustGiving page, the more donations you’ll receive.
