Parachute Jumps
Community Links is looking for adventurous people to throw caution to the wind and jump out of a plane - with a parachute of course! Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet – the noise of the engines and wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go – falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120 mph. Imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself down to the centre of the drop zone below…
This amazing experience is free to those who raise the minimum sponsorship and knowing that you are helping such a fantastic cause at the same time can only add to the experience. There are 3 types of jump available:
- Accelerated Freefall – experience the thrill of skydiving solo from up to 12,000 feet Tandem Skydive – from 10,000 feet attached to a professional instructor Static Line Jump performed solo from up to 3,000 feet
- You can jump at over 20 British Parachute Association approved airfields across the UK, throughout the year. No experience is necessary as all training is given.
Father and son team Hector and Alastair Bruce took on the parachute challenge in memory of Alastair’s father and raised an incredible £8,111 for Community Links.
You can jump on your own but why do that when you can share the experience with friends or colleagues? Our supporters from Lovells jumped as a team of 9 and raised a brilliant £3,659
