Climb the RRS Discovery Mast — Scale History for Cash for Kids

Are you ready for a heart‑pounding challenge with an unforgettable reward?

On 31st May, join Cash for Kids for a once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard the legendary RRS Discovery in Dundee — and help change children’s lives while you’re at it.

What’s the challenge?

You’ll follow in the footsteps of Captain Scott’s 1901 Antarctic crew as you climb the historic rigging of the Discovery. Scale the towering foremast, take in breathtaking views across Dundee’s waterfront, then zip‑line more than 40 metres back down to solid ground.

It’s bold, it’s brilliant — and it’s all for a great cause.

Every step you take on that rigging, and every pound you raise, helps fund the support these children need.
