Free parachute jump for Springhill Hospice

Parachute jump for free and raise vital funds for Springhill Hospice.

Springhill Hospice is looking for adventurous volunteers to make a fundraising parachute jump and any daredevils that raise enough in sponsorship will get to jump for free.

The Hospice has teamed up with international events specialists Skyline and have 20 places reserved with the famous Black Knights Parachute Team.

There are three types of jump available – an ‘Accelerated FreeFall’ where you can experience the thrill of skydiving solo from up to 12,000 feet, a ‘Tandem Skydive’ from 10,000 feet attached to a professional instructor and a ‘Static Line’ jump which is performed solo from up to 3,000 feet.

"If you have ever wanted to experience a parachute jump here is your chance," said Hospice fundraising officer Ian Jenkins.

The jump will take place at Lancaster Airfield on Saturday 28 March. No experience is necessary as all training is given and if you raise more than £360 (depending on the type of jump you choose) you will receive your jump for free.

If you would like to make a thrilling skydive from 10,000 feet, or an exhilarating solo jump from up to 3,000 feet, just contact Springhill Hospice Fundraising Office on 01706 649920, or email ian.jenkins@springhillhospice.nhs.uk, for a full information pack.
