Earlier this year, Virgin Voyages’ UK sales team announced that Reuben’s Retreat would be its chosen charity partner for 2025. The partnership will see the team raise funds throughout the year to support the charity’s ongoing “Project Build” and its mission to help families who have lost a child or are caring for a child with medical complexities.

Sky Dive in June

One of the standout events in this campaign is set for 14 June, when members of the travel industry will take part in a 15,000ft skydive. Among them are Virgin Voyages’ own SJ Walker and Jack Atherton, joining others across the industry in making the leap to raise both awareness and donations.

Known as Skydive for Reuben’s Retreat, powered by Virgin Voyages, the jump aims to support the charity’s goal of raising £1 million in 2025. The money will go towards completing the final stages of their Forever Home site in Glossop, including accessible apartments and family spaces where precious memories can be made.
