Do you want to take on a high adrenaline challenge to raise funds for animals in need across Suffolk?

The pawfect challenge would be to undertake a tandem skydive from 13,000ft and be sponsored by your friends and family!

• Secure your place with a £50 deposit
• Pledge to raise a minimum of £395 per person for RSPCA Suffolk Central (2 weeks before the jump to guarantee us paying for your place)

RSPCA Suffolk Central branch helps animals in need in your local community through rehoming and rehabilitation at our Martlesham Animal Centre, where we help nearly 300 animals a year find new homes; providing access to low-cost vet care, treatment and medication for nearly 3,000 pets through our Welfare Clinics; and subsidised neutering and microchipping programs.

Join us on Saturday 11th April 2025 at Beccles Airfield. To secure your charity-funded place, you will need to sign up today, pay a £50 deposit and commit to raising at least £395 for RSPCA Suffolk Central branch, we will then pay for the cost of your jump.

If you’d prefer to self-fund your jump, you can pay the full price of the jump today or make a £50 deposit and pay the balance on the day of the jump.

We’re thrilled to be a charity partner for the Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon for the third year running!

We are offering FREE limited charity spaces if you’d like to run on behalf of RSPCA Suffolk Central – all we ask in return is that commit to fundraise at least £150 on our behalf ahead of the event (that could be much easier than running a half marathon!).

And that’s not all, if you raise over £50 we’ll supply a free running vest!

We will be releasing applications for our charity spaces shortly, but if you are interested in running this event in our team, please register your interest online here.
