Tackle the Tower is back this year as fundraisers are invited to abseil Southend Hospital's iconic 154 foot tower block
The event will take place on Saturday 16th May
Thrill-seeking fundraisers are being invited to abseil down Southend Hospital's iconic tower block to raise money for their chosen wards or departments.
The annual event on the 154 foot building is now in its 11th year.
Everyone taking part in Tackle the Tower, can raise funds for any chosen ward or department at Southend, Basildon, or Broomfield Hospitals.
In its history, the event has seen 676 people raise over £270,000., and it is open to anyone aged 14 or over with all equipment provided on the day.
Elise Fleetwood, Events and Corporate Relations Manager at Mid and South Essex Hospitals Charity, the organisers of the event, said: “The money raised by the brilliant people taking part will make a world of difference and helps us to provide extra services and facilities for our patients, families and staff across our hospitals.
“Whether you love an adrenaline rush or simply want to give back in a meaningful way, this annual challenge offers a unique opportunity to make a real impact.”
They say spaces are expected to fill up fast.
