Tandem Skydive – July 5th
There’s no better way to see the Norfolk coastline than from the air in the height of the summer – and taking a tandem skydive means that anyone can safely enjoy a bird’s eye view of our beautiful part of the world. So why not head to Beccles airfield on July 5th to do a sponsored parachute jump for Norfolk and Waveney Mind?
This is an amazing opportunity to create unforgettable memories while helping raise vital funds to ensure no one in our region has to face poor mental health alone. Anyone over 18 can take part. We advise that you dress in comfortable clothes and wear trainers.
For more details, please contact events@norfolkandwaveneymind.org.uk. To book your place visit Annual Tandem Skydive 2024! – JustGiving. And to find out more about UK Parachuting and how to get there, see: UK Parachuting.

Three Peaks Challenge – August 4th-6th
Taking on Britain’s best-known mountain-climbing challenge is a great way to see our country’s most spectacular scenery while fundraising for Norfolk and Waveney Mind.
Climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales – involves trekking around 26 miles and climbing almost 3,000m. That’s equivalent to ten times up the Eiffel Tower! Doing so within 24 hours is a gruelling but popular challenge, and if you’re keen to take it on, the mental health charity will be with you every step of the way.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a first-timer, N&WM will be there to support you, doing all they can to make sure your Three Peaks experience is one you’ll never forget.
They offer all trekkers a fantastic support package, including:
- A Fundraising Officer on hand to answer your questions and guide you through your training and fundraising
- Regular e-newsletters about Norfolk and Waveney Mind and the difference your fundraising makes
- A Norfolk and Waveney Mind t-shirt and fundraising materials
Then when the big weekend comes, your trip will be led by fully qualified, experienced mountain leaders and includes accommodation and transport for the whole challenge (starting and finishing at Chester train station).
The charity asks that all participants fundraise a minimum of £865, of which 80 per cent must be raised 10 weeks before the event, or are able to pay for the challenge yourself via the self-funded option.
