DAREDEVILS are being asked to sign up for a charity’s abseil which will return later this year.
After last year’s inaugural fundraiser, the Barnsley Hospice abseil is back - bigger and better than before.
With nearly 60 daredevils descending down Barnsley College, the 100-foot drop raised £27,000 last year, supporting the hospice’s specialist palliative and end-of-life care.
Ella Beale, head of fundraising and marketing at Barnsley Hospice, said: “Last year’s abseil was truly amazing.
“We’re hoping this year is bigger and better than before.
“The atmosphere and camaraderie amongst everyone last year was really special, so if you’re thinking about doing something truly unique, then consider signing up.”( Barnsley College principal and chief executive, David Akeroyd, added: “Barnsley College is thrilled to host Barnsley Hospice once again for this unique fundraising challenge.
“Many of our colleagues took part last year, raising thousands and this year we’re hoping that even more people choose to brave the drop.”
You can sign up for the event online, at www.barnsleyhospice.org, or ring 244244 for more information.(
