Help Para Athletes Compete at the British Indoor Nationals

Every athlete deserves the opportunity to compete, regardless of disability or financial circumstances.

We are raising funds to help fund up to 12 para-sport competition places at the 2026 British Indoor Skydiving Nationals at Weembi + to support the cost of rental for the judging system.

For disabled athletes, the cost of competing goes far beyond the entry fee. Accessible travel can be considerably more expensive, while some competitors require wheelchair-accessible accommodation, specialist vehicles or support from carers.

Some athletes are also unable to work because of their disabilities and depend on family support to pursue the sport they love. Adaptive equipment can cost thousands of pounds; one competitor’s specialist braces alone recently cost £2,000.

These additional expenses mean the competition entry fee can become the final barrier preventing an athlete from taking part.

What your donation will fund

Money raised through this campaign will be used to reduce or fully cover competition entry fees for para-sport athletes and support the cost of the rental of the system to be able to run the event.

If we reach our target, we hope to provide up to 12 funded competition places, allowing more athletes to compete without worrying about the entry cost.

If we raise less than the full target, the available funding will be used to partially fund applicants.

Any money remaining after competition entries have been paid will be used for future competitions.

We will publish campaign updates confirming how many athletes have been supported and how the funds have been used.

Why this matters

Indoor para skydiving gives people with a wide range of disabilities the opportunity to train, progress and compete in a unique sporting environment.

Every athlete reaching the British Nationals has already overcome significant personal life challenges. The opportunity to compete can build confidence, independence, friendships and a genuine sense of belonging.

Your donation is about much more than paying an entry fee. It gives an athlete the chance to represent themselves, their community and a rapidly developing para sport on the national stage.

Whether you donate £5, £20 or £100, every contribution will make a genuine difference.

If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign with friends, family and the wider skydiving community would mean just as much.

Together, we can help ensure that ability, not financial circumstances, determines who gets the opportunity to compete.

Thank you for helping make the British Indoor Skydiving Nationals accessible to more para athletes.
