Can’t skydive on 12 October?
We understand that not everyone will be able to do their skydive in Brackley on 12 October for World Mental Health Day. You can still skydive for Place2Be and help raise funds to help us ensure that no child or young person faces a mental health problem alone.
By joining #TeamPlace2Be, you'll be fundraising for our vital in-school services to help more children and young people get the mental health support they need.
Every penny and pound your raise for your Edinburgh Marathon will fund:
- mental health support in schools for pupils

- our work increasing the number of mental health professionals who can become a qualified counsellor with Place2Be.

What happens during a Tandem skydive?
A Tandem skydive allows you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds at 120mph, without needing to do lots of training. You’ll be with a qualified tandem instructor for the whole of the 10,000 feet dive; you’ll jump out and free fall together until your instructor opens your parachute at about 5,000 feet before you float down together to a soft landing. It is a truly unforgettable experience.
How much does it cost to do a charity skydive for Place2Be?
Each skydive has a registration fee and a fundraising pledge, which is a minimum amount of money we ask that you raise. Don’t worry – our friendly fundraising team will be supporting you every step of the way!
The fee is usually £70 with a fundraising pledge of £450 but it can vary depending on the skydiving event and location.
