We are looking for adventurous supporters to join us for our exhilarating Abseil Challenge – a great way to face your fears AND fundraise for local hospice care in Dorset.
Location: Portland, Blacknor Cliffs
With the stunning backdrop of the Jurassic Coast, is there anywhere more scenic to take on this challenge? The specific location will be dependent on the weather conditions on the day.
Date: Sunday 10th May 2026
The deadline for you to register is Friday 10th April. You can secure your place below.
You will be in safe hands with your experienced instructors for the day, from local Portland-based outdoor activity company Adventure4All.
It’s just £25 per person to sign up, but we do ask that you pledge to raise a minimum of £150 for taking part in this incredible experience! You will be supported on your fundraising journey by our Fundraising Team, and you can also find lots of ideas and suggestions in our Fundraising Hub. Please find the event Terms and Conditions below.
