About Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale

Who we are:

2024 marks our local charity’s 50th anniversary… Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale has been supporting older people in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan for half a century! Today our mission is as clear as it was back then… to live in a society where older people are respected and enabled to meet their aspirations.

What we do:

Our charity ensures that older people within our local community are not all alone to face the uncertainties that old age often brings without family or friends to help. The impact of isolation, loneliness, and poverty can have a devastating effect on their health and wellbeing. Far too many older people know just how this feel. Last year alone Age Connects supported over 6000 people.

Why we need you:

We are a small charity, but we are kept very busy. Demand grows whilst financial support from statutory bodies has diminished significantly meaning we have to put a great deal of effort into fundraising independent income to maintain the services that so many rely on. Your skydive will help us provide a vital lifeline to so many older people in need.

How it works

Booking a charity jump

If you need help putting together your jump package, our Sales Team is more than happy to assist you. We’ll ensure you get a charity discount of £25 off our 10,000ft or 15,000ft skydives when your charity is selected. Determine if your charity expects you to meet a fundraising target or if you will be self-funding the skydive.

You’re all set to start fundraising once you’ve booked your skydive! Your charity can help you with fundraising, and we’ll be available to answer any questions you have about the skydive!

 

Step 1
Build your team

Skydiving is even more exhilarating when shared with friends, why not invite your friends and family and create a shared experience with memories that will last a lifetime.

Step 2
Select Your charity

Choose one of our 300 registered charities or jump in support of your own charity. Each registered charity will state if they will contribute to some of your jump cost or if you need to self-fund your own place.

Step 3
Book your Skydive

Book individually or as a group with just a £50 deposit per person. Some of the charities we work with have reserved spaces on pre-booked days that you are more than welcome to join. See our date picker tool below.

Step 4
Start fundraising

OK you're all set - We recommend you set up an online fundraising page as all funds you raise will automatically go to the charity of your choice.

You can still jump for them!

Non-partnered charities at GoSkydive offer a unique opportunity to make a positive impact while experiencing the exhilaration of skydiving. These charities, though not officially affiliated with GoSkydive, collaborate to raise funds and awareness for various causes. Participants can choose a cause close to their hearts and raise money individually or as part of a team, diving headfirst into an adrenaline-fuelled adventure that also helps those in need.

Our non-partnered charities still receive the same great discount of £25 off a 10,000ft or 15,000ft skydive that our partnered charities do. All you need to do is pay the balance of your skydive yourself and fundraise as much as you can for your chosen charity on the side!
