Are you ready to take on a once-in-a-lifetime challenge while making a real difference in your community? Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) Charity is hosting its second sponsored abseil and on the search for 100 brave participants to make the pledge to go over the edge for their local hospital charity.

Taking place on 20 September 2025 at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, participants will descend 160ft in this adrenaline-filled challenge from a specialist twin cage crane. The registration fee is £35, with a minimum sponsorship of £200.

The Big DRI Abseil provides a fantastic team building opportunity for local businesses, encouraging colleagues to come together, supporting each other to go down the line, whilst giving back to your local community and we are delighted to provide all Doncaster Chamber members a 10% discount from registration fees. When booking your place, members need to use the code CHAMBER. For businesses who require an invoice, please contact us directly on dbth.charity@nhs.net.  

Funds raised will support vital projects across the Trust, and supporters can also choose for their funds to support an area of the hospital that means the most to you or one of our latest appeals. 

Sarah Dunning, DBTH Charity Fundraising Manager, said: “This is an amazing opportunity to test your courage and take on a unique challenge while making a meaningful impact on our community.

“By stepping over the edge, participants are raising essential funds that will directly benefit our patients and colleagues. We are so grateful to everyone who has signed up so far and can’t wait to see more of you join this exciting event.”
