About The Link Visiting Scheme

Who We Are:

The Link is an award-winning Wokingham charity supporting lonely and socially isolated older people, helped by a large team of dedicated volunteer befrienders.
“My volunteer is a lifeline; her visits are the highlight of my week”
What We Do:
The Link’s solution to the problem of loneliness and isolation is simple and effective. We provide a range of friendship-based services, including telephone-based interim support, long-term one-to-one befriending, and small interest groups, as part of our innovative pathway approach, designed to help someone from a point of crisis to achieving social wellbeing.
The pandemic has only made things worse, and our services are in greater demand than ever before. Amongst our existing clients we have witnessed notable declines in mood, physical mobility, and mental sharpness.
Why We Need You:
Extreme loneliness is a hidden disease which is crippling and causes enormous mental and physical harm. For marginalised older people who are house-bound and lack digital skills, they become withdrawn, lose motivation, their physical and mental health suffers. Not only does social isolation cause immense suffering for those affected, but it also places great pressure on families, carers, health, and social services.
Last year, the Link worked with over 1000 clients with annual service costs of £280,000. It is very important to us that we provide our support free of charge and, as such, fundraising plays a very big part in the work that we do. Your skydive could transform the lives of older people by adding hours of friendship, laughter and fun!

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.

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!
