Skydive for Charity

CHARITY SKYDIVE INFORMATION

Experience the thrill of a lifetime and raise money for a good cause!

Hundreds of people choose to do a tandem skydive for charity every year with Skydive St Andrews. It takes just a short period of time to be briefed for your skydive and then you will jump with a British Skydiving qualified Tandem Parachuting Instructor and experience the thrill of 120mph free-fall (weather permitting!).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We have many charities that jump with us and the best way is to choose a charity that you would like to jump for and then get in touch with them. How this is administered varies between charities, some require you to meet a minimum sponsorship amount which enables you to use the sponsorship money to cover the cost of the skydive, others require a partial payment. This is between you and the charity as we merely provide the service.

1. Pick a charity

You are welcome to skydive for any charitable cause. Once you’ve chosen your charity, you must get in touch with them directly to agree the use of the funds you raise.

2. Book a date

Get in touch with us directly to book your skydive and pay the deposit. Make sure you leave yourself enough time to fundraise before the skydive!

3. Get fundraising!

Start raising funds for your charity. They may offer guidance on how best to do this and provide you with official sponsorship forms.

4. Skydive!

On the day of your jump you will pay the remaining balance for the skydive at the airfield. If you plan to use sponsorship money to cover the jump this must be agreed in advance between you and the charity.

GROUP BOOKINGS

We are happy to reserve places on a certain date and set a deadline for deposits to be paid.

In winter months we can accommodate at least 14 students per day and in Summer at least 24 per day. Slightly larger numbers are possible with prior arrangement.

Call our Booking Office on 01592 822 400 or use our contact form.
Tell us what date you’d like to jump on and we can see if it’s available, or ask us about availability so you can choose one to advertise.
Tell us how many people you have or expect to take part.
We will give you a deadline of 6 weeks prior to the booking to organise details and deposits after which time places may be released to our other customers.
If you need more time or have a few extras, then just keep talking to us. Our staff want to help you make your event a success.
If you are working on behalf of a charity or planning a full day event then we may be able to set a deadline closer to the jump date to allow more time for advertising and organisation.
Top group tip – sign people up as soon as possible. From our experience we can tell you that group numbers tend to drop over time so the sooner you get organised the more funds you’ll raise for charity.
When you are ready to book, please contact us with everyone’s name, age, weight and height and a deposit of £80 per person.

“What an absolutely fabulous, well organised and professional team! We spent today up at your centre where 16 of us did tandem jumps to raise money for Beatson Cancer Charity. From the first jump to the last jump, every one of us got the same enthusiasm and encouragement from your instructors and the same amazing experience! I can not recommend Skydive St Andrews highly enough and would encourage anyone who is thinking about booking with them to do so!

Thank you again for a truly awesome day. From a very delighted Beatson Booby Bird team!!”
