New in 2027...
Tandem Sky Diving
Experience parachuting by being strapped to the front of an experienced Tandem Instructor. After a short briefing and training you will be ready to jump and take to the skies. Once you exit the aircraft from up to 13,000 feet you will accelerate to around 120 mph, covering each thousand feet in approximately five seconds. At 5,000 feet the Instructor will deploy the parachute which will then be controlled by both persons until you land softly and gently some four minutes later.
Just an hour's drive from Birmingham Hinton Airfield offers a fabulous experience with the skydive giving you the most envious views of the Northamptonshire countryside.

Our Past Events...
Picnic and Parade in the Park - 19th September 2026
In September, we were delighted to bring together the local community for Picnic & Parade in the Park at Queens Park, Harborne, in collaboration with Cerebral Palsy Midlands and Focus Birmingham.
A day of inclusion, community, and celebration of young people with learning difficulties and disabilties.
A special thank you goes to our amazing sponsors; GlenPark, Premier Mobile Catering, Northfield Neighbourhood Network Scheme and Edgbaston Neighbourhood Network Scheme, as well as staff, volunteers, and the whole local community. Your generous support helped make the event possible, and we truly appreciate your contribution.
It was a wonderful day, and the event was a huge success overall.

You can fundraise for QAC by setting up your own fundraising page which gives details of your fundraising challenge. You can share your page link with friends and family and all the money raised via the page goes directly into the charity's bank account taking the stress away from having to handle donations so you can just concentrate on the challenge in hand! click here for justgiving
