How do charity skydives work?

Charity skydiving events, like those cancelled after the Nottinghamshire incident, are popular fundraising activities. Participants often pay a deposit and commit to raising a minimum amount for a chosen charity. The charity typically covers the jump cost from the funds raised. These events offer an exhilarating way to support good causes, blending adventure with philanthropy.
