Story
Uplift is a new charity
We provide advice, sign posting, peer and professional support to empower skydivers who:
Are experiencing mental health problems
Are experiencing drug and/or alcohol addiction
Have been Involved in/witnessed/affected by a major incident in skydiving
Suffered a bereavement in skydiving
Have been affected by any other trauma or need additional support
We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental health and addiction in the skydiving and factors that can lead of a negative impact on the mental health of skydivers. We conduct research into the above topics and produce reports to support the community.
The money raised for Uplift will be used to towards the work of the charity and to create a fund for people to access a course of specialist support i.e. trauma counselling, bereavement counselling.
