Story

🪂 We’re taking the ultimate leap for charity! 🪂

On 21st June 2025, we (Martin & Paul) will be stepping out of our comfort zones—quite literally—by jumping out of a plane from 15,000 feet (the highest Tandem Skydive in the Uk)! It's a challenge that’s both thrilling and terrifying, but we're doing it for a cause that's incredibly close to our hearts: Wigan and Leigh Hospice.

Why We're Taking the Plunge

Wigan and Leigh Hospice provides compassionate care and vital support to people facing life-limiting illnesses, along with their families. Their dedicated team offers specialist palliative care, helping individuals maintain dignity and quality of life in their most difficult times.

As Astley Hire's charity of the year for 2025, we are undertaking a range of fund raising challenges as the hospice relies on donations to continue its amazing work. The hospice needs over £12,000 per day to continue it vital work, that’s why we’re strapping on our parachutes, taking to the skies, and freefalling our way to raising as much as we can!

How You Can Support Us

We need your help to make this jump truly worthwhile! Every donation, big or small, will help the hospice continue its incredible work in our community.
