Take on a Skydive for My Sight Notts

Calling all thrill seekers! Are you ready for the ultimate challenge?

Why not take on the challenge of a lifetime and help raise funds for My Sight Notts? Jump from two miles above the earth and freefall at terminal velocity before floating gently to the ground under the parachute – all whilst harnessed to a fully qualified parachuting instructor!

There’s no experience like jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet and soaring through the sky at speeds of up to 125mph! 

You can choose when and where to jump.

The nearest airfield is Langar Airfield, Nottinghamshire, NG13 9HY.

Registration – £70. This is the only cost to you, as long as you raise the minimum sponsorship.

Minimum Sponsorship – £395

Skydiving is a truly unforgettable experience. Get in touch to find out more or register for your jump here.

5K My Way

5K My Way is an opportunity to challenge yourself to cover 5K on a date and place of your choosing. You can do it on your own or with friends, colleagues or family and we’ll support you all the way!

Whether you walk, jog, run, roll or stroll, 5K My Way is your chance to move your way, have fun and make a difference for people living with sight loss across Nottinghamshire. 5K My Way is inclusive for everyone – people living with sight loss, wheelchair users, pushchair users and, of course, dogs!

By taking on a 5K, you’ll be helping My Sight Notts provide life-changing support services and activities for people experiencing sight loss across the county. Every step you take helps someone live more independently, connect socially and thrive.

Let us know if you are taking on 5K My Way and we’ll support you all the way. We can provide sponsor forms and advice on setting up a JustGiving page, as well as coming along on the day to cheer you on whenever we can.

Contact us on info@mysightnotts.org.uk or 0115 970 6806 to let us know about your 5K My Way challenge.
