Skydive for dementia

Skydive for dementia

Take the leap of a lifetime

Experience the thrill of with a tandem skydive for Beyond Dementia.

Nothing beats the excitement of jumping out of a plane in a good cause. We've teamed up with Go SkyDive, the UK's leading skydive company for first time jumpers so you will be in the safest of hands.

Our tandem jumps take place at GoSkydive's dedicated airfield at Old Sarum, near Salisbury. The day starts with a full training briefing with your personal skydive instructor before getting kitted out and taking off in a Cessna Super Cargomaster.

When the plane has climbed to 10,000ft, you'll be ready for your skydive experience.  After 30 seconds of freefall, when you'll be travelling through the air at speeds of 125mph, the parachute will open and you'll experience amazing views across the Wiltshire landscape as you descend.

There is also the option to upgrade to 15,000ft for an even more thrilling challenge.

What they say

"I probably came into caring as you did. One minute I was living my life, the next I was enmeshed in the Alice in Wonderland World of social services, memory clinics, aids, appliances and assessments. Becoming a carer is like falling through the looking glass: we discover a whole new world, one in which we must believe six impossible things before breakfast"

Marianne Talbot Carer
