Then, choose one of the following options:
- Self-funded - You can cover the cost of the skydive yourself; in this case, all your sponsored income will go directly to supporting people with ataxia and research. There is no minimum sponsorship target for self-funding skydivers.
- Funded by Ataxia UK - To qualify for a free jump, we ask you to have a minimum sponsorship target of £500 or more. This covers the cost of your jump, and includes a donation to the charity. Your sponsorship target will vary depending on where you jump from, due to the costs at the airfields differing across the UK.
You will also be required to pay a £70 registration fee. You can choose to either pay this yourself, or take it out of your offline fundraising.
If you book a date for your skydive and the jump is called off due to weather or pandemic restrictions a reschedule will be arranged.
For any questions, please contact our Fundraising team at: fundraising@ataxia.org.uk or on 0207 091 1594.
