About YMCA Thames Gateway
Who we are:
We are a charity serving communities across London, Essex and Kent. We provide supported accommodation for over 400 vulnerable young people facing homelessness. We offer a safe space and opportunity for over 550 young people through our youth and education provisions, support over 1000 children and their families through our children’s services and are a specialist health and wellbeing provider to over 100 individuals every year, ensuring that fitness and wellbeing can continue regardless of illness, age or ability.
What we do:
All of our services have been developed to meet the local needs across our branches within West Kent, Dartford, Woolwich, Brentwood and Romford. We focus on young people and help them play an active and fulfilling role within their communities. We provide support and development of skills and knowledge required for successful independent living. We offer free youth clubs, mentoring and detached work to children aged 11-18 years. We provide training and qualifications for young people who have SEN, disabilities or require an alternative to mainstream education. We offer a range of childcare solutions and family support through our EYFS, holiday programmes and family liaison. Our health and wellbeing team provide a range of classes and specialist programmes including a 10-week cancer rehabilitation programme,
weekly seated exercise classes for survivors of stroke and brain injury and a wide range of social opportunities for vulnerable members of our community. Our aim, to ensure that everyone, regardless of their current position in life, is able to belong, contribute and thrive within their community.
Why we need you:
Many of the services we provide are either free or are offered at a highly subsidised rate. These programmes, including our Romford Cancer Rehab and Woolwich Youth Zone, rely solely on the
support and generosity of local people and the communities we serve. We need your help to enable us to continue these vital programmes for our young people and those most in need within our community.

How it works
Booking a charity jump
If you need help putting together your jump package, our Sales Team is more than happy to assist 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!
Build your team
Skydiving is even more exhilarating when shared with friends, why not invite your friends and family and create a shared experience with memories that will last a lifetime.
Select Your charity
Choose one of our 300 registered charities or jump in support of your own charity. Each registered charity will state if they will contribute to some of your jump cost or if you need to self-fund your own place.
Book your Skydive
Book individually or as a group with just a £50 deposit per person. Some of the charities we work with have reserved spaces on pre-booked days that you are more than welcome to join. See our date picker tool below.
Start fundraising
OK you're all set - We recommend you set up an online fundraising page as all funds you raise will automatically go to the charity of your choice.
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!
