"Fall From The Sky" skydiving school works in partnership with some very worthy charities to supply skydiving services to those who wish to raise money for their cause and if desired get their Tandem skydive at no cost to themselves. This is achieved by having a target amount in sponsorship to be collected and if the target is reached then the full amount of the jump will be paid for from the charity. Of course you have the option to pay for the jump yourself and donate all the money collected to the charity. The general guidelines work like this.

The charity agrees for you to take up to 50% of the  the money you collect up to a maximum of  the whole cost of your skydive with any excess going to the charity.The aim is to stop someone collecting £250 and spending £220 on the jump leaving only £30 for the charity. You should never personally benefit more than the charity. Please see these examples.

1. The skydive costs £240. You collect £480. 50% pays for the jump and 50% or £240 goes to the charity.
2. The skydive costs £240. You collect £540. £240 pays for your jump and £300 goes to the charity.
3. The skydive costs £240. You dont put much effort into collecting sponsorship and collect only £200.  50% or £100 goes to the charity leaving 50% or £100  towards your jump. The remaining £140 for the cost of the skydive has to be paid by you.
