Fundraising options
We work with Life Changing Challenges to organise charity funded Wing Walks, they will ask for a £75 deposit and then depending on your chosen location you will pledge to raise the minimum sponsorship. This helps us to cover the costs of your wing walk and to ensure your hard-earned fundraising goes towards our charitable objectives.
Gloucestershire Aerodrome
Minimum Sponsorship is £800
Kent Aerodrome
Minimum Sponsorship is £1000
100% of the minimum sponsorship required must be sent to the charity no later than eight weeks prior to the challenge.
Self Funded
Alternatively, you can self fund your Wing Walk. This means you have no minimum sponsorship and can aim to raise as much as possible.
