About King George and Queens Hospitals Charity
Who we are:
King George & Queen’s Hospitals Charity is the official charity supporting all areas of both King George Hospital in Ilford, and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. Our vision is to support our hospitals and make them better equipped and more comfortable for everyone who needs care, both now and in the future. Funds raised have helped in many ways, from providing play therapy for children undergoing treatment, to funding large life-saving pieces of equipment which are beyond the remit of the NHS
What we do:
We listen to the ideas and needs from both our staff and patients about what is important to them. When we hear of an innovative idea that will either support, comfort, entertain or educate the hospital user we do our best to take those wish list items and turn them into reality. This might be to fund an educational event giving opportunities for staff to be even more specialised, to buy a sensory toy to comfort a child in trauma, bringing entertainment to the bedside of a lonely elderly patient or even just providing tea in a bone china tea cup making their day feel less like hospital, or fund an amazing Da Vinci surgical robot – the first of its kind for our Trust, attracting amazing surgeons to work with us, and giving patients the chance of less invasive robotic surgery at their local hospital where they can stay close to their family.
Why we need you:
If you live in our boroughs or have family living here, if you work or commute through our area, the chances are that you or someone you care about will need our hospitals at some time in the future. We want to make sure our staff have the equipment they need to make every hospital stay just a little bit better. With your help we can make this happen. Take a leap of faith with a sponsored sky dive today – for a better NHS tomorrow.

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!
