About Birmingham Community Healthcare Charity
Who We Are:
Birmingham Community Healthcare (BCHC) Charity is the official charity for BCHC NHS Foundation Trust. BCHC Charity exists to enhance care and provide extras for 130 different BCHC clinical services, including; adult community services such as district nursing, continence and diabetes; urgent adult care bedded units including patients with dementia and those in end of life care; children & families services such as health visiting, palliative care and school nursing; dental care services within Birmingham Dental Hospital and the Community Dental Services; rehabilitation services including patients who have suffered a stroke, brain injury, or require support with posture/mobility, and Learning Disability services.
What We Do:
BCHC Charity’s mission is to enrich patient experience and improve their time within the care of BCHC services by funding the extras that are not covered by the core NHS funds. These extras are the sorts of things that bring a smile to our patients and their families and carers, and can range from smaller items like books, toys and toiletries all the way up to large projects like our therapeutic playground for children with prosthetic limbs.BCHC Charity are committed to supporting BCHC staff and their patients and service users in any way that we can, whether that’s through supplying extra equipment, enhancing indoor and outdoor environments, providing entertainment or funding research projects. We’ve renovated garden areas, funded beautiful murals, thrown festive parties with food and gifts, provided sensory lighting spaces, entertained patients with music, magic and days out, and lots more besides!
Why We Need 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!

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!
