Sign up to a scary Hallowe’en abseil at Magna for two charities

Sheffield Hospitals Charity and its sister charity, Neurocare, are hosting a spooktacular Hallowe’en fancy dress abseil on Saturday, November 3.  

Fundraisers will take on Magna’s 150ft purpose-built abseil platform — jumping into free air, not scaling down a wall — in a bid to raise £100 for vital funds to support patients in Sheffield.

Fiona Prakasam, fundraiser at Sheffield Hospitals Charity and Beth Porter, fundraiser at Neurocare will be taking part in the event. 

Beth said: “Fiona and I are terrified of doing this abseil — it is way out of our comfort zone. So we are calling out for others to join us, not only for moral support, but to boost our funds to enhance patient care in our city’s adult hospitals. 

“Climbing the steps in Magna’s 150ft Face of Steel Building will be a daunting challenge in itself, however once at the purpose built abseil platform, our qualified instructor will put you at ease and explain the principles involved. 

“It will be an exhilarating experience, and not one to be missed."

Fancy dress is encouraged — the scarier the better.
