Royal Free Charity Abseil

• You must be 16 years old or older on the day of the abseil. Under 18s must have consent from a parent or a guardian who must be present on the day and a form of ID is required. 
• You will be asked to sign a waiver that declares you have no medical conditions that would prevent you from taking part. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions that you are unsure about, please speak to your doctor for advice. 

• Yes but everyone must register individually. Places are subject to availability so please make sure teammates don’t leave it too late to join your team and chose the same time slot. Please check the remaining places left under each time slot before registering. 

• When you complete your registration, your fundraising page will automatically be set up on Enthuse, our fundraising platform. 

Your sponsorship will help support our patients and staff in many ways. 

• £200 could provide ten hours of volunteer companionship for patients across our hospitals. 
• £200 could provide therapeutic massage to eight patients living with painful side effects of their treatment or hospital staff coping with stress. 
• £200 could help a patient facing financial challenges because of their illness or condition thanks to our support hub. 

• We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes with no heels. Please be aware that there may be some waiting time once up on the roof so please dress appropriately for the weather. 
• Long hair will need to be tied back. 
• You will be provided with the correct personal protective equipment for your abseil including a helmet which must be always worn. 
• We will send out further information closer to the event so please ensure you check your email for what’s required on the day. 

• You can invite a maximum of two people and will be shown where they can watch on the day. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to have any friends and family wait in the charity office due to capacity. The Pears Building atrium has a café that supports the work of the Royal Free Charity. Purchases have to be made to use the seating and toilet facilities. 

• We will be in regular contact between the time you register and the event date to support you with your fundraising. We ask all participants to make every effort to raise £200 in sponsorship (excluding Gift Aid), which will directly support staff, patients and families across the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. 
• If at anytime you are concerned about your fundraising progress we ask that you contact us so we can help. If you are not able to reach the target by the deadline set we will work together with you to extend your deadline and support further fundraising activity to help. 

• Your registration fee does not contribute towards your fundraising. It contributes towards the cost of your place and the costs involved in organising the event. 

• If you are no longer able to take part, please email us at [email protected] and we can cancel your place. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable and not transferable to a friend.
