Spectators

You are welcome to bring along supporters and recommend that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

Jumps are weather dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.

You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!

Every childhood is worth fighting for

The NSPCC has been here for children for over 140 years. They are the leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK. Everything they do protects children today and prevents abuse tomorrow. 

Every pound you raise will enable us to fight non-stop to help all children have the best start in life, happy and free from abuse and neglect.

Childline is a life-changing NSPCC service, giving children and young people a voice when no one else is listening. 

On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds. Many of them are frightened. Many are lonely. Many are suffering abuse. All of them just want to reach someone who will listen.

It's only thanks to your support that they can be there for every child, whenever and wherever they need us. In the face of new challenges, you are helping us make a safer world for them. Not just some day. Every day. 

This is the most exhilarating thing I have done for NSPCC to protect children. It was the best experience of my life. Archana
