If a skydive has always been on your bucket list, why not sign up with Breakthrough T1D and help us leap towards a world without type 1 diabetes.  

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.

Cost

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.

What support do I get?

  • Full support with your fundraising, including tips on how to reach your targets and access to free fundraising materials.
  • A free charity tech T-shirt for you to wear with pride on the big day.
  • Access to our amazing Breakthrough T1D community via our Facebook group, where you can post updates and get advice from your fellow fundraisers.
