About SkyDiveGB
So, you’re interested in this mesmerising sport we call skydiving? There’s no better place to do it than in Yorkshire!
The skydive club is based just north of the coastal resort of Bridlington, East Yorkshire and with their proximity to the coast they can offer unrivalled views from the aircraft and throughout the skydive experience.
Skydive GB are affiliated to and governed by British Skydiving (formally the British Parachute Association) which has a worldwide reputation for safety within the sport. All of their instructors are British Skydiving approved and have passed the rigorous instructor training courses and assessments provided by the association.
The Gift of Water
Muslim Hands works globally to provide people with access to clean water and sanitation. The type of communities we work with vary greatly so our approach reflects this. Assessing the need for water on an individual basis, we tailor our solutions to specific problems.
With your support, we will build a Dig a Well in one of our many locations, that can serve up to 200 people, providing access to clean water for drinking, washing and cooking, as well as keeping livestock hydrated. On average, these wells serve up to 35 families.
