A leap of faith by the charity team at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals paid off after it “roped in” 35 willing volunteers, who together raised more than £11,500 in sponsorship by abseiling the 128ft Peel Tower on the top of Holcombe Hill near Ramsbottom last Saturday.

The group’s donation will go to support ground-breaking projects across Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust that are beyond NHS means, including initiatives to help parents-to-be, new parents and newborns via its Baby Beat charity.

Thanks also to our abseil experts, the team from Alternative Adventure, for literally showing all our abseilers the ropes and for their unfailing encouragement.” The abseil was the second annual abseil of Peel Tower Lucy has organised. The first was held last year and had 21 volunteers sign up, who collectively raised £2,000 for the charity team’s Children’s Fund.
