Skydive for Flourish: Take the Leap and Empower Girls

When was the last time you did something truly daring for a cause that matters?

Imagine the adrenaline rush as you jump from 13,000 feet, feeling the wind race past you. Now, picture that same moment knowing your courage is helping young girls overcome anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem.

By skydiving for Flourish at Skydive Tilstock, you’re not just taking on a challenge – you’re transforming lives. Every pound you raise helps girls in Warwickshire build confidence, resilience, and self-worth through our specialist mentoring programs.

Why Flourish Needs You

Flourish is dedicated to empowering girls aged 10-18 facing social and emotional challenges. Many of the girls we support struggle with anxiety, isolation, low self-esteem, and disengagement from education. They often fall through the cracks of traditional services, left feeling unheard and unsupported.

We change that. Through 1-2-1 and group mentoring, delivered by local women who understand their struggles, we provide a safe space for girls to talk, express themselves, and build confidence.

But we can’t do this alone. Your skydive fundraising will directly support Flourish’s mission to ensure every girl feels valued, supported, and empowered to take on life’s challenges.
