80ft descent from Bath College’s Macauley Building

Take on an 80ft descent from one of the tallest buildings in Bath, Bath College’s Macauley Building. Expect incredible views, shocking drops and the challenge of a lifetime! We are incredibly grateful for the support of our partners in this event, Bath College. Expect three action packed days, filled with hair-raising fundraising right in the heart of Bath!

Funding vital end of life care across Bath and North East Somerset, and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset

Dorothy House has supported over 4,200 families living with an end of life diagnosis in the last year. We are working closely with Bath College on this fundraising initiative, and this is a meaningful relationship to us as we know that by the age of 16 around 1 in 20 young people will have experienced the death of a parent.

Fundraising while taking on the Bath City Abseil will mean we can continue to support families in Bath and beyond.

• £80 could fund three hours of community nursing time, helping patients manage pain, discomfort and emotional distress, directly in a patient’s home. 

• £150 could fund 6 hours of care during the night – delivered in a patient’s home, by a compassionate, skilled and experienced Hospice at Home Carer. Providing care to patients, essential respite to families, enabling a patient to stay at home at the end of their life. 
• £500 could fund a course of 8 hour long sessions for two children or young people after the death of a parent or guardian.
