Soar for a Cause: Experience the Thrill of Skydiving to Support Lewis-Manning Hospice Care

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is excited to announce an upcoming charity skydive on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury.

This event offers participants the chance to experience the unparalleled thrill of a tandem skydive from either 10,000 feet or an astounding 15,000 feet, all in support of your hospice, in your community

Why Participate?

By joining this skydive, you will be directly contributing to the compassionate care provided by Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Funds raised will support patients and their families with life-limiting illnesses, ensuring they receive the care and support they need, whether through in-hospice services or home visits. This assistance not only improves patients' quality of life but also alleviates pressure on the NHS.

How to Get Involved:

• Register: Secure your spot with a registration fee of £50 for the 10,000ft jump or £100 for the 15,000ft jump.
• Fundraise: Aim to raise £450 for the 10,000ft jump or £550 for the 15,000ft jump. The dedicated fundraising team at Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is available to provide you with resources and support to help you achieve your fundraising goals.
• Jump: Experience the adventure of a lifetime on June 14, 2025, knowing that every pound raised contributes to providing essential hospice care in your community.

Community Support:

The local community has already shown enthusiastic support, with staff members from Barchester Care Homes signed up to take the leap.

Lewis-Manning Area Fundraiser, Fiona Harwood advised, “We’re hoping to encourage lots more to take the leap and help us to provide extraordinary hospice care to those who need it most.”

Raising funds for a 10,000ft jump could cover the cost of over 20 sessions for a loved one to benefit from counselling support after a close bereavement. Jumping 10,000ft will give you an experience of 15 seconds freefall with a 5 minute parachute ride down. The higher 15,000ft jump fundraising could cover could pay for our nurses and clinical teams to visit over 60 patients in their homes, delivering hospice care where they need it most. A 15,000ft jump is the highest altitude in the UK, with 60 seconds of freefall before the parachute ride down, it is a truly unmissable experience.

A Word from Past Participants:

Reflecting on his experience and participation last year, Ian Girling, CEO of Dorset Chamber of Commerce, said, “It was the most amazing day and the memories will stay with me forever!”
