SUMMARY:Skydive Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take the ultimate leap of faith for your local NHS hospitals?\nWe’re looking for a team of brave fundraisers to experience the thrill of a lifetime. Imagine soaring at 10,000ft before freefalling at 125mph strapped to a fully qualified instructor, all while raising vital funds to support patients and staff across Watford General, Hemel Hempstead, and St Albans City Hospitals.\nWhether you’re a seasoned adrenaline junkie or looking to tick a big item off your bucket list, this is your chance to fly high for West Herts Hospitals. Because this is a tandem skydive, no previous experience is necessary – your instructor handles the parachute and the technicalities, leaving you free to enjoy the view!\nJump for Free!\nWe are working with Skyline Skydiving, the UK’s leading organisers, to offer you the experience of a lifetime. By jumping for our charity, you can experience a tandem skydive without it costing you a penny.\nHow it works:\n\nThe Sponsorship Scheme: Raise a minimum of £395 (or £450 depending on your chosen dropzone) and the charity will cover the cost of your jump.\nFlexible Locations: Skyline works with airfields across the UK, allowing you to choose the dropzone most convenient for you.\nThe Deposit: To secure your spot, a booking deposit of £70 is required. Once you reach your minimum fundraising target, the scheme allows you to reimburse yourself for this deposit from the offline sponsorship you have collected.\nSimple Booking: You can choose your preferred date and location directly through the Skyline Charity Jumps portal ( https://booking.skylineskydiving.co.uk/?add=71&referrer=charity&charity=105236&siteid=50 ).\n\nWhy Jump for West Herts Hospitals Charity?\nOur hospitals provide incredible care, but with your help, we can make it the very best. Every pound you raise goes above and beyond core NHS funding to provide:\n\nState-of-the-art equipment to speed up diagnosis and treatment.\nEnvironmental enhancements to create calming spaces for patients and families.\nStaff wellbeing initiatives to support our hardworking doctors and nurses.\nExtra comforts like toys for our children’s wards or activities for patients with dementia.\n\nReady to Leap?\nTo get started, click the Register Now button to find your nearest location, book your date, and start your fundraising journey today!\nOur support for you\nOnce you have a date confirmed, we will support you with:\n\nA free West Herts Hospitals Charity t-shirt\nDedicated support from our events team\n\n \nIf you have any questions or would like more information about taking part in a skydive, please email westherts.hospitalscharity@nhs.net or call a01923 436182.
