About HI Kent
We are HI Kent, the county’s charity helping people live well with hearing loss.
We have been supporting people since 1986 and this year marks our 40th anniversary. We are proud of what we have achieved and hope to continue making a difference for many more years to come.
However, these are very challenging times for our small, independent charity. A reduction in social care funding, combined with increasing demand on private funders from many organisations, has made it increasingly difficult for us to sustain our services.
- Free hearing aid maintenance clinics helping people with NHS hearing aids keep them working effectively.
- Free assessments of need and advice on assistive equipment.
- Installation and advice on loop systems and assistive technology to help organisations comply with the Equality Act 2010.
- Free online lipreading classes.
- Free tinnitus support groups.
- British Sign Language classes (Levels 1 and 2).
- Deaf awareness training for organisations.
- Free face-to-face social groups to reduce isolation.
- Technology support services to help people connect hearing aids to useful apps.
- Ear health checks and wax microsuction services.

Fundraising
Raising money for your tandem skydive via an online fundraising page makes it quick and simple for your friends and family to support you. You can share the link to your fundraising page via your social media pages and through texts and emails. If you haven’t done so already click through now and set-up your page or check out our Fundraising Ideas page to help you get the most out of your Charity Skydive.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Don't see your charity listed?
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!
