Events throughout the year 

 Have you ever fancied doing a tandem parachute jump but were unsure how to go about it? Well, we have the perfect opportunity for you! And weather permitting, you can do your jump at any time throughout the year, in dozens of locations around the UK.

We have teamed up with the London Parachute School, who use a number of British Parachute Association (BPA) approved drop zones all over the UK. A team of highly qualified instructors will guide you through this ultimate adrenalin ride, and provide you with all the necessary training. You get to go 10,000 feet up in a plane, and then experience the exhilaration of freefalling for 5,000 feet. At up to 120 miles an hour!

 Jemini Vaghela jumped 13,000 feet for Meningitis UK and raised a fantastic £450 for our Search for a Vaccine Campaign.

 Jemini Says: "Doing a sponsored parachute jump for Meningitis UK was an awesome experience!! Freefalling at almost 130mph is indescribable and the views were breathtaking. I've raised over £400 and the amount is still going up! I'd definitely recommend doing this - a truly worthy cause."

Peter Smith 58, Post Master from Sutton took on his fourth Sky Dive and decided this time to raise money for Meningitis UK's 'Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign'. Peter managed to raise a fantastic £620 through his jump - thank you.

 Jo Taylor had a fantastic time when she jumped out of a plane to raise money for Meningitis UK.

Jo says: "I did a sponsored parachute jump for Meningitis UK  and it was brilliant. The sun was shining and it was a truly amazing experience. I paid for my skydive myself and raised over £400, smashing my original £200 target. Raising money was easy, because everyone was so supportive of this worthy cause."
