Following on from the success of the first King's Mill Hospital abseil which took place in November last year and helped to raise over £36,000 for the Trust charity, we are pleased to announce that we will be holding another abseil on Friday 12 June 2026.

The charity has once again teamed up with Big Bang Experiences -  a UK leader in height-based activities for over 30 years - to give you this unique opportunity to take a leap of faith and abseil down six storeys of King’s Mill Hospital. You can find out more about on the Big Bang Experiences website.

We be holding the abseil over just one day this year and spaces will be limited. 

If you are up for the challenge and want to get involved in this amazing opportunity to help us raise vital funds, please register your interest now by sending an email to sfh-tr.charity@nhs.net. 

Please note: You will be required to pay a £20 registration fee and must be prepared to meet the minimum £150 fundraising target in order to take part.
