Take on the dizzying heights of Ipswich Hospital's Tower!
The Extreme Abseil, is back and we want you to take on the challenge! Face your fears to create a calm space for lasting memories.
We’re challenging participants to take one brave step to create a dedicated, peaceful space for when time truly matters, for our patients facing end-of-life, and their loved ones. This June take on Ipswich Hospital's Tower to fundraise for Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity's Time Garden Appeal.
Take in unbelievable views across Ipswich that very few people are able to experience.
The day is split into 30 minute timeslots, and with two ropes going down the tower, it’s the perfect challenge to take on with a friend or your team!
Run by the exceptionally experienced Dave Talbot Ltd., our Extreme Abseil is an adrenaline-filled adventure you won’t forget.
So take on the challenge and sign up today!
We would love for your fundraising to support Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity's Time Garden Appeal helping us build a calm and peaceful space for end-of-life patients and their loved ones, for when time truly matters.
