In celebration of Diabetes Awareness Week 2025, we want to build a team of people all jumping for Breakthrough T1D over the course of the week.
Where you complete your skydive is up to you. There are over 20 participating airfields across the UK, with many open seven days a week.
All jumps are accompanied by experienced instructors who will be there to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you have the best experience possible and make memories to last a lifetime.
Pay an initial deposit of £70 to secure your booking.
You’ll then be asked to raise a minimum of £450* in sponsorship for Breakthrough T1D.
*sponsorship amount may differ slightly depending on which airfield you choose.
Breakthrough T1D partner with Skyline for all our charity skydives. Skyline has over 30 years of experience and has seen more than 200,000 successful jumps, raising in excess of £150 million for good causes.
Skyline will handle your booking and ensure your jump goes without a hitch. Read the Skyline FAQs.
