HOSPICE Care charity Phyllis Tuckwell is holding a sponsored abseil down one of London’s newest landmarks – the Arcelormittal Orbit – and is looking for more participants to sign up – perfect for those with a head for heights and a heart for giving.

Standing at 262 feet, the Arcelormittal Orbit in London’s 2012 Olympic Park is the UK’s tallest structure, and rewards those at its summit with an incredible 20-mile view of the city’s skyline. The abseil will take place on Saturday, October 10, which is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day and costs just £50 to register for, with a minimum sponsorship of £350.

Laura Moody, events fundraising manager at Phyllis Tuckwell, said: “This adrenaline-fuelled experience will be an incredible way to raise money for a charity which cares for those facing a serious progressive illness, such as cancer. Every day we provide supportive and end of life care to over 250 patients and relatives who are facing cancer or another serious progressive illness.”
