Experience free falling through the clouds from 13,000ft!

Take it from our Occupational Therapist, Jess, who recently took on a skydive for us.

“Just do it! I can’t say loudly enough just how fantastic and exhilarating the whole experience was. I’d do it again in a heartbeat – not only for me, but for the hospice too. The skydiving team were so supportive and the moment when I sat on the edge of the plane and looked at the clouds before jumping was extraordinary.”

And also watch this very short video showing Helen Fletcher, our Senior Community Nurse, loving her own intrepid experience for Katharine House Hospice a few years ago.

Take on this experience of a lifetime and you’ll get …

the thrill of a 125mph freefall from 13,000ft
a Katharine House Hospice T-shirt
a dedicated fundraiser on hand to help you hit (and exceed!) your fundraising target, along with access to our helpful fundraising tips and tricks
professional training from Hinton Skydive Centre with experienced instructors.
