Get ready to soar through the skies above St James’ Park in one of the most exciting fundraising events hosted by Newcastle United Foundation.
The challenge offers brave participants the chance to abseil 150ft from the roof of St James’ Park or launch from the iconic Level 7 of the stadium and fly across the pitch, finishing with an exhilarating descent at the Gallowgate End.
This amazing experience gives you a bird’s eye view of the hallowed Newcastle United turf – all while raising vital funds to support Newcastle United Foundation’s Health and Wellbeing programmes, specifically their Dementia Walking Football sessions.
As the need for access to sessions and activity becomes greater, so do the costs to cover this. The more money we can raise from this event, the more families we can support via this vital service.
