Hear from two people who took the jump in previous years

Laura “A skydive has been on my bucket list for years and what better way to do it than raising money for a fantastic charity – Hospice in the Weald. After my Grandad passed away in March in 2019, I started volunteering for Hospice in the Weald, so it is a charity very close to my heart”.

Lisa, a Relationship Fundraising Manger from the Hospice recalls the day “I have a real strong fear of flying, and I think that why most people sponsored me. By the time we reached 15,000, I have never wanted to jump out of a plane so quick!! It was a great way to remember my Dad who I know would have been so proud of what I had overcome to get to that point, and was a fantastic way to raise money for the Hospice who took such great care of him and us when we needed it”

How can I ensure I reach the minimum sponsorship target of £500?

  • Set up your personal fundraising page and share with friends, colleagues and family. One of the easiest ways to do this is via a platform called JustGiving. This platform allows you to share it with whoever you want as well as being able to personalise it and share your story.

  • Organise a fundraiser – this could be a bake sale, car wash, games night or many more…

If you have any questions about our skydive event, you can get in touch with the Fundraising team by calling 01892 820533 or emailing fundraising@hospiceintheweald.org.uk.
