Norwich Daredevils Wanted: Take the Leap for Age UK Norwich’s 80th Anniversary Abseil Challenge!

With less than two weeks to go, Age UK Norwich is calling on brave-hearted locals to take part in a thrilling abseil fundraising challenge—and help us reach our ambitious £80,000 target in celebration of our 80th anniversary.

On Sunday 29^th June, participants will descend one of Norwich’s iconic landmarks, all in support of the thousands of older people we serve each year. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking for a meaningful way to give back, this is your chance to make a real difference.

Registration for the abseil is free, but participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship for Age UK Norwich. The event is open to individuals aged 16 and over, with those under 18 requiring parental or guardian consent. There is no upper age limit, but participants are advised to consult their doctor if they have any concerns about their health or ability to take part.

Why Your Support Matters

Every pound raised will go directly towards vital services like befriending, hardship support, social clubs and trips, and advice that empowers older people in Norwich to stay independent, connected and well. As demand for our services continues to rise, fundraising like this is more crucial than ever.

"This isn't just a milestone year for Age UK Norwich—it's an opportunity to make a tangible difference!” says Dan Skipper, Chief Executive Officer at Age UK Norwich. “We're celebrating 80 incredible years of supporting our community, but the challenges older people face is more pressing than ever.
