NSPCC challenges adrenaline junkies and dare devils

Push yourself to the limit this summer by skydiving for the NSPCC

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Consider yourself a dare devil? Or perhaps you just love the thrill of trying something new and exciting? The NSPCC are daring people like you to partake in a sponsored skydive this summer, to help raise funds for the charity.

The NSPCC are allowing anyone over the age of sixteen and in good health to join in, with solo or tandem jumps available all year round from one of twenty sites across the UK.

No experience is necessary, and your training and jump are free if you raise a minimum sponsorship of £395.

NSPCC fundraising manager, Martin Ashton, said: “We are encouraging as many people as possible to take part in this exciting initiative and do their bit to help.

“By raising sponsorship, your skydive will help the NSPCC in Greater Manchester carry on its vital work with children and young people. This includes supporting children and families through local services as well as providing vital funding to develop our national helplines – ChildLine for young people and the NSPCC Helpline for concerned adults – so that we can be there whenever and wherever children need us.”

He added: “A charity skydive is ideal for individual thrill-seekers looking to test their nerve, or for groups of friends, family and even colleagues as a corporate team-building challenge. Everyone who signs up will receive full training from a qualified instructor, fundraising support, a range of fantastic materials and a certificate upon completion of their jump.”
