Skydive
Imagine the exhilaration of skydiving from a plane at 15,000ft, the highest height you can jump from in the UK! After 60 seconds of freefall your parachute opens, enabling you to take in the beautiful views of up to 5 counties and the sea!
This once in a lifetime experience is one that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Sound good? We think so too.
Take to the skies for a good cause!
We’ve partnered with GoSkydive and Skydive Buzz, who you can sign up with at any point!
Your fundraising will help us to provide compassionate care and support for people in our community with a life-limiting illness. Our focus is on quality of life, helping patients to live well and die well.

Kelvin's skydive story
Take to the skies with fellow Dorothy House jumpers whilst raising vital funds for the Hospice!
One of our incredible supporters, Kelvin, challenged himself to a skydive to raise vital funds for Dorothy House after his wife died at the Hospice in 2019. From the incredible nurses and staff who cared for his wife during her stay on the IPU, to the peace our beautiful grounds brought to him, Kelvin shares why Dorothy House holds such a special place in his heart.
