"It’s a brand new abseil with a more adventurous element and we hope people can get involved whether you are an individual looking to take part, a group of friends, work colleagues or you and your family, we would love to hear from you.

"As a charity, we heavily rely on funds raised through people participating in our events. Currently, it costs £5,500 a day to keep the medical team in the air, delivering critical care to those who need it most. Therefore, we encourage you to get involved and sign up!

"Registration for this event is £40 and we hope those participating can raise a minimum of £100. I will be on hand to help you with your fundraising and everyone participating will get an official Air Ambulance NI T-shirt for their abseil.”
