Charity Skydive
Jumping from a plane and reaching speeds of up to 120mph. If this sounds exciting, then this could be the challenge for you!
If adrenaline fuelled challenges are your thing and you’ve always wanted to do a Skydive then now is the time. Don’t put if off until next year, get it booked in today and start your fundraising for Queenscourt.
How it Works
You can pay for the Skydive in two ways:
Self-funded method
You pay for the price of the Skydive from your own funds so that all the money you raise in sponsorship will go to Queenscourt.
Jump for free
You will need to raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship and then use a portion of the funds to pay towards your skydive. When booking your skydive you will need to pay a £50 non-refundable deposit. You will then pay for the remainder of the Skydive from your sponsorship money leaving the remaining sponsorship money for Queenscourt.
Please note: when using an online fundraising site, once your sponsors have paid this online, the payment goes straight to the charity and you will not be able to claim this back. It is important to recognise that although it seems you are skydiving for free, the tandem parachute jump is being paid for by the charity and the people supporting your cause, so you should try to raise as much as possible over the minimum target.

Velocity 2 The Fastest Zip Line in the World
Fly at speeds of up to and over 100mph over the Penrhyn Quarry in beautiful Snowdonia.
A favourite with our Challenge Events Fundraiser, Andrea, who has taken on this challenge twice in 2022. This fantastic zip line is not only the fastest in the world but the longest zipline in Europe and it’s virtually on our door-step, just a short drive into Wales. This is an amazing experience and highly recommended.
