Join us for an unforgettable fundraising event

The challenge
Join #TeamFoothold and take on a tandem skydive this holiday season,
Strapped to your fully qualified, expert instructor, you begin your descent into the pure open sky from 10,000ft. As you exit the aircraft, you dive straight into an incredible 30-40 seconds of freefall time, soaring through the sky at rapid speed (approximately 125mph). By this point, your adrenaline will be at its absolute peak – there’s no rush like it!
At 5,000ft Your parachute opens, and the beauty of the landscape surrounding you suddenly comes into view. The high-octane thrill of the freefall now becomes something more relaxed and inspiring. You will feel as though you are floating through the sky as you slowly descend; be sure to enjoy the view, you’ll never get to experience anything like this again!

What participants say
"I'm not great with heights so I was pretty terrified if I'm honest, but the instructors were great and I'm so glad I faced my fear."
"What a Thrill! 100% the best experience I've had. The freefall had the adrenaline pumping, and the views once the parachute opened were amazing."
"Wow. I’ve jumped out of a plane. I never thought I would be able to say that. What a day."
"Well, I did it! I was very nervous in the plane and thought I might not be able to do it, but I did, and I'm so proud of myself."
