Raise and One YMCA, have created a 46 metre abseil challenge down One YMCA’S Charter House Hostel in order to raise pertinent funds for the NHS and vulnerable community members.
Reflecting on the important work of the two charities, YMCA, have been serving local communities for over 130 years. Delivering a broad range of programmes in aims of supporting and uplifting those in need. Raise is focused on patient care across the Hertfordshire area.

Emily Theobald, senior fundraising officer at Raise, said:
“We couldn’t be more excited to offer supporters this thrilling opportunity! We are looking for 50 abseilers to go above and beyond for the NHS and help save more lives in our local area.''
Mark Turner, One YMCA chief operating officer, also commented saying:
"If abseiling off the side of a building is my way to play a part in supporting those that need us the most – how could I say no!”
