Event Description
Why not challenge yourself to take part in a tandem skydive from 10,000 feet to mark Mental Health Awareness Week (12 to 18 May 2025)?
Skyline Events will organise the logistics of your tandem skydive, and the Mersey Cares charity team will support you with your fundraising providing you with packs and resources to help you raise funds for our work.
What’s the upfront cost?
You are simply asked to pay a £70 deposit at the time of booking, payable to Skyline Events upon registration.
How much am I expected to fundraise?
You are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £450. (The Mersey Cares charity will then be invoiced the £250 of the remaining 'jump costs' ('jump costs' alone for this site are £320, which includes your registration fee - and so all funds raised above £250 will be going directly to support the work of the ZSA!) If you are unable to raise the minimum sponsorship, you will be asked to pay the outstanding for the jump on the day to Skyline Events.
