The important stuff

Conditions: Participants must be 16 and above; those under 18 need parental consent. You will need to complete a medical form.

Cost: There is a minimum sponsorship target of £395 (£450 in Scotland and Northern Ireland as the jump costs in these areas are higher), of which UNICEF will receive at least £140 as a donation for our work for children. You will pay a £70 deposit to Skyline when you book. You will pay the jump costs of approximately £190 at the airfield on the day of your jump (you'll need to raise this bit offline so you can take it with you on the day).  Please note that UNICEF cannot reimburse any monies fundraised online so please ensure you raise enough offline if you want to cover your jump costs.  If you raise the minimum sponsorship then the cost of your jump can be recovered from the offline sponsorship money. This means you can skydive for FREE!

Organised by: UNICEF UK in association with Skyline

How your fundraising will help?

UNICEF works tirelessly to protect and promote children’s rights. We work with governments and communities to help them keep their promise to fulfill children’s rights. Your support is greatly appreciated. The sum you raise it will make a real difference to the lives of children.

Raise £21 and we could buy mosquito nets to protect 5 families from malaria.

Raise £95 and we could help 10 families collect and store clean, safe water with our family water kits. Each kit contains buckets, collapsible water containers, soap and water-purification tablets.

Raise £228 and we could buy enough HIV test kits for 300 mothers-to-be. This basic screening test can help more babies be born free from HIV.

Raise £830 and we could equip 10 health workers with a bicycle, vaccine carrier and 100 doses each of measles and polio vaccines.
