St Elizabeth Hospice is offering adrenaline junkies the chance to take on Suffolk's tallest abseil or a bungee jump to raise funds this August.

What's happening: People who enjoy the idea of launching themselves off tall buildings are being given the choice of a 140ft bungee jump or abseil – the tallest in Suffolk.

  • Both events will take place along Ipswich Waterfront

  • Participants will start their descent from a crane near MIX Café + Bar

Why it matters: The fundraiser supports St Elizabeth Hospice's vital services for patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses across East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney.

What they're saying: "Both the bungee jump and the abseil – the tallest in Suffolk – are sure to appeal to thrill-seekers, while also providing stunning views of the Ipswich skyline to take in," said James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at St Elizabeth Hospice.

How to participate:

The bottom line: These unique challenges offer locals a chance to push their limits while supporting an important cause in the community.
