Safe in Sussex Skydive on Sunday 8th August 2021
On Sunday 8th August 2021 at Neverathon in Salisbury, 13 brave people are taking part in a tandem skydive to raise vital funds and awareness for the West Sussex based domestic abuse charity, Safe in Sussex.
Jumping from 10,000ft, this group of intrepid souls will be putting their fears aside and ticking off their buckletlists in the glorious sunshine in the English countryside… hopefully!
Ranging in ages from early 20’s to mid-70’s, the group is made up of 5 Safe in Sussex staff members, 2 local business representatives (Bacon & Co Estate Agents and Sakala), and other members of the community.
We’re all coming together to complete this exhilarating feat and raise funds for an amazing charity which has been put under enormous pressure during lockdown due to rising cases of domestic violence across the UK.
We’re aiming to raise at least £5,000 for the charity – can you help us? Visit the sponsorship page here: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SafeinSussexTeam
We have more spaces!
Why not tick off your bucketlist and raise money for an essential charity at the same time? We have a free minibus for transport to and from the site and a Safe in Sussex tshirt for anyone taking part.
What’s not to love?

Safe In Sussex receives 14% of its funding from the government. The rest is through grants, fundraising events, donations, legacies and corporate sponsorship.
Demand for our services grows every year and finding the money to fund our vital services gets tougher all the time.
