Any thrill seekers out there looking for their next challenge?

The Great North Children’s Hospital Fund – part of Newcastle Hospitals Charity and Chuf are partnering to bring an exciting abseil challenge. Offering you the chance to abseil almost 70ft off the roof of The Great North Children’s Hospital at the RVI.

Whether you’re abseiling in memory, in celebration, or simply for the challenge – you’ll be making a real difference to children and their families undergoing treatment at the Freeman Hospital’s children’s heart unit or at The Great North Children’s Hospital.

Supporting a range of initiatives – from innovative equipment and life-changing research to support services for staff and projects to improve the patient experience and environment.

The abseil costs £35 to enter and we’re asking our fundraisers to raise £150 – every pound will support the vital work of Chuf and The Great North Children’s Hospital.

You could even do this dressed as your favourite superhero if you are up to it.
