Fundraising
We ask you to commit to raising £475 for Sands.
You will need to raise enough to cover the cost of your jump at least two weeks before your skydive date to secure your place. You'll then have four weeks after your skydive to collect and send the remainder of your sponsorship to Sands.
Every pound raised helps Sands support bereaved families, improve bereavement care, fund research, and campaign to save babies' lives.

Once you've booked your skydive, we'll be in touch by email to help you get started with fundraising and a t-shirt will be put in the post for you to wear with pride on your Skydive day!

The difference you will make
Sands want to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of time. We want to campaign for change and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.
We all know someone who has lost a baby. So join Team Sands and help us continue to be there for them.
''I chose to conquer my fear of heights and do a skydive on what would have been my daughter Imogen’s 3rd birthday. I wanted to raise money for such an amazing charity and do something totally out of my comfort zone in the process!.''
