Experience the thrill of jumping from 10,000 feet by taking part in a charity tandem skydive for YMCA Bournemouth.

Our preferred skydive provider is GO SKYDIVE, who will organise all the logistics of your tandem skydive. They are based at multiple locations across the South of England and Wales.

Once you’re registered, we’ll support you every step of the way with a free fundraising pack filled with tips and advice on how to raise money for YMCA Bournemouth.

The GOSKYDIVE Experience

Our preferred skydive provider is GOSKYDIVE, who will organise all the logistics of your tandem skydive.

There are two fundraising options when booking your skydive.

Raise a minimum sponsorship for your skydive

To do your charity skydive for YMCA Bournemouth, you will need to pay a £50 registration fee (payable directly to GOSKYDIVE upon registering) and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship of £395. Once you have registered, you’ll receive your free fundraising pack.

Pay for your skydive yourself

Let us know that you have secured your own skydive by completing the form.

There is no minimum sponsorship target if you have booked to cover your own jump costs. You’ll still get the same level of support from us as a charity skydive jumper.

“Skydiving for YMCA Bournemouth was a really great experience and I would love to do it again!”
