Skydiving: The Big Jump 2021 (September)
Coronavirus update: 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.
Are you ready for the thrill of a lifetime? Take on a charity skydive for RNIB for an unforgettable experience!
How does it work?
Registration fee: £70
Sponsorship pledge: £475
Firstly, sign up and pay a registration fee of £70 to our event partners, Skyline Parachuting: you can choose between 11 airfields across the UK.
The sponsorship pledge for a skydive is then £475. Two weeks before your skydive you will need to send 80 per cent (£380) directly to RNIB and the remaining 20 per cent (£95) six weeks after your jump.
We’ll pay for your skydive costs out of your sponsorship money, with the remainder supporting people with sight loss across the UK.
Join RNIB for our Big Jump in 2021. You’ll be part of a massive team of RNIB skydivers taking to the skies on the same day and making the leap to support people with sight loss.

How does your fundraising help?
Everyday, 250 people in the UK start to lose their sight, and their lives will change completely. Your fundraising will help RNIB work to remove every psychological and physical barrier that stops people with sight loss from thriving.
Jack Marshall, who completed the Big Jump in August 2020, said:
"The feeling of the wind on your face with all the sounds around you when you're in freefall is exhilarating and thrilling... even with the lack of sight. Don't let any loss of senses get in your way, do anything you want."
