About the abseil challenge event
The Peak District Abseil is a brilliant event where supporters have abseiled 80m down the Millers Dale Viaduct, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Peak District countryside. An area with strong literary associations, perhaps most notably Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, it's a great event to raise funds to help more children in the UK to discover reading for pleasure.
If you're interested in signing up to this event in the future, please contact us at fundraise@literacytrust.org.uk.
Why fundraise for the National Literacy Trust?
We know that poverty and low literacy go hand-in-hand.
Children who are growing up with the stress of not having enough food and living in cold and damp housing, are not well equipped to develop strong literacy skills. Through our literacy hubs, we aim to target the communities where there are a high number of economically disadvantaged families, giving them free access to resources and support to help them boost their children's literacy skills.
It is vital that we act now to give this generation of children a positive future.
What support will I receive?
- A National Literacy Trust t-shirt to abseil in.
- A dedicated contact to help with your fundraising and support you in the lead up to the event.
- An experienced and trained instructor to guide you through the abseil.
