Here's a sneaky preview of what to expect! Watch our superstar skydiver Rebecca take on the Big Jump for Beat last year 🪂💜

“How does jumping out of a plane help Beat” we hear you ask? Let’s take a look.

£15 enables us to exchange emails with someone with an eating disorder, guiding them on their recovery journey
£25 pays for us to answer a Helpline call from someone who feels they have nowhere to turn.
£69 enables us to run an online peer support group for people to share their experiences and feel understood
£100 means we can provide webchat support to four young people, helping them take their first steps towards recovery.

Elaine's Big Jump

"As soon as I read about the Big Jump I knew i had to do it and signed up quickly before I could change my mind"

Smiles and laughter whilst getting ready

"My daughter is so brave every day in the way she works to overcome her eating disorder. What’s jumping out of a plane in comparison to that?"

Soaring through the skies

"The jump itself was wonderful and I’d recommend it to everyone"

Fabulous Fundraising Ideas

Organise a raffle by asking friends, family, colleagues and local businesses to donate prizes –then sell tickets to help you reach your target.
If someone donates something extra special, why not have an auction? You can also add creative crafting workshops to the auction list – with all proceeds going to your skydive.
Did someone shout Bingo? Use Beat's Bingo sheets to host a fun game and ask for donations to play.
Make things interesting with a sweepstake, whether it’s football or the latest competition on TV.
Become quiz master for the night. Charge teams to join — and make it crystal clear you’ll accept bribes for every clue.
Arts & Crafts your thing? Sell your wares to reach your target!
Style it out with a themed fancy dress competition at work.
Have a film night! Invite your nearest and dearest and pick a couple of family favourites. Provide popcorn and snacks and some annoying background chatter to curate the perfect cinema experience. Oh - and don't forget to sell the tickets!
Make the most of your networks! Ask friends, family and colleagues to donate. They can even donate a small amount each month.
Pop this poster in your staffroom or spread the word at your local pub or club.
Share Share Share. Sharing your page on facebook, instagram, twitter, emailing to friends and family and sharing directly with people on Whatsapp is a fantastic way to spread the word and gain support.
