CHARITY NEWS
DARE YOU GO ‘OVER THE TOP’ TO RAISE FUNDS FOR YOUR LOCAL NHS?
Are you looking for a challenge in 2021? Why not do something outside your comfort zone and take part in the Northamptonshire Health Charity abseil day. Following its postponement last year, the charity’s annual
fundraising event is set to return on Saturday 3rd July.
Dare you go ‘over the top’
and abseil the 418ft iconic
Northampton Lift Tower to
raise funds in aid of the NHS team closest to your heart? The charity supports Northampton General and Kettering General Hospitals as
well as all the community and mental health hospitals and services across Northamptonshire. In 2019, the event raised a fabulous £15,000 to support a wide-range of wards and departments.
Demonstrating that age is no barrier, hospital volunteer Brian Hayes was 82 when he took
on the challenge for the second time in 2019, supporting Breast Care Services. The charity’s youngest daredevil Lucy Noel, 13 at the time, gave her sponsor money to Oncology and Gosset Ward at Northampton General.
Could this be the challenge for you this year? Contact the charity team for details and to register your place today!
