Take the Leap for Evora Hospice - Charity Skydive

What to Expect

Thrill-seekers and fundraisers jump from 10,000 feet in a tandem skydive to raise vital funds for Evora Hospice Care, which provides palliative care and support for patients and families across Down, Armagh and Tyrone. The jump is one of Evora Hospice’s flagship annual challenge events, open to anyone willing to take the leap. All funds raised go directly to the hospice.

The event takes place at an airfield in Garvagh, near Coleraine. Participants are drawn from across County Armagh and the wider Southern Health and Social Care Trust area.
