Face Your Fear Abseil Challenge Fundraiser

On Saturday, 16th August, the incredible Fundraising and Communications team (and a brave husband!) took on a heart-pounding challenge to raise vital funds for our charity and they did it in style!

With a combined total of 284 years of life experience between them, they climbed, abseiled, and even leapt from a towering 12-metre structure at the Forest Facility Adventure Centre in Stamford. For many of them, it was far outside their comfort zone - but with the fearless Elaine leading the charge, they found the courage to face their fears head-on. The amazing team at Forest Facility guided them through every step, helping them to build resilience, strengthen team bonds, and share countless laughs along the way. When it came to the terrifying ‘Leap of Faith’ there were moments of hesitation, nerves, and adrenaline—but together, they stood on the edge, took a deep breath, and jumped!

It wasn’t just about conquering heights - it was about showing what we can achieve when we support each other and rise to a challenge. Every step they took was in support of our mission: to improve the lives of older and vulnerable people in our community and the best part?

They raised £1320 including paper donations and gift aid* and counting and you can still contribute, simply scan the QR code to donate or click here
