Coronavirus update: We are pleased to say that airfields re-opened over the summer and are taking bookings for the new year. We continue to work closely with our skydiving partner Skyline to ensure that airfields are following UK government guidance and implementing coronavirus secure measures ensuring the safety of both the instructors and participants. All in attendance will be required to take temperature checks on arrival, instructors will be in full PPE and all jumpers and spectators will be expected to wear a face covering.

How does your fundraising help?

Every day, 250 people in the UK start losing their sight and their lives will change completely. Too many people still face isolation and depression, unable to achieve their potential in a world that blocks their way.

But we won’t stop until every last psychological and physical barrier has gone for good – from classrooms to workplaces, from local shops to far-flung holidays. By jumping with Team RNIB, together we can smash through the barriers that stop people with sight loss thriving.

How does it work?

  • Sign up and pay your registration fee to our event partners, Skyline Parachuting.
  • Send 80% of your sponsorship (£380) directly to RNIB at least 2 weeks before your skydive and the remaining 20% (£95) 6 weeks after your jump.
  • We’ll pay for your skydive costs out of your sponsorship money, with the remainder supporting people with sight loss.

What support will you receive?

Team RNIB skydivers receive outstanding support:

  • Expert and personalised support from our friendly events team
  • A fundraising pack bursting with top tips
  • An RNIB t-shirt and fundraising materials
