Sky Dive – Sunday 15th March 2026
This year why not do a Sponsored Sky Dive in Beccles. Jumping out of an aircraft at 13,000 feet and plunging down to earth at speeds of over 120 mph is a breath taking and intoxicating experience of a lifetime. If you want extreme, if you want extraordinary, there is no better thrill and its brilliant opportunity for team building.
Whether you’re running, swimming, climbing, or taking the leap of a lifetime: or you have another Challenge Event idea that you need our help organising, then please do get in touch with our fundraising team and drop us an email:
