Scottish Charity Events in April

Feature by Joao Jordao | 01 Apr 2008

Charity Skydiving
Three different airfields in Scotland, ongoing

Thanks to Charity Skydive, you can parachute from 10,000 feet for free. For the opportunity of a lifetime you've got to raise around £375, and in return you'll experience some of the most exciting skydiving available in the UK. Furthermore you can choose between 1,500 different charities to donate the money you raise to, and the charity of your choice will provide the rest. The minimum amount of money to be raised depends on you choice: for a 'Tandem Skydive' or the 'Static Line' you must raise around £375, or, if you're brave and like challenges, the more expensive and radical 'Accelerated Freefall' requires a minimum fund total of £535 (plus optional spare breeks).
