Are you up to the Challenge?

QAHH and Southern FM are proud to present:

The 'Hero for a Day' Event

Bowles Rock

Sponsored by Carpenter Box LLP

in support of the work of the QAHH
& Help a Local Child

Saturday 15th November at Bowles, Crowborough, on the East Sussex/Kent border. 

Southern FM’s Help a Local Child has joined up with The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home to raise much needed funds for physically disabled ex-Servicemen and women. Our event is based around Armistice Day and we want you to come and join us, be a Hero For the Day and raise money for some remarkable people.

You will have the opportunity to take part in a number of activities throughout the day. If successfully complete 5 of them you will be awarded a prestigious certificate and medal.


The Activities will include:-


Rock Climbing

The natural sandstone outcrop at Bowles is suitable for complete novices

or for those who have experience of an indoor climbing wall and would like to try the real thing.


Zip Wire

Just as the name suggests – fly through the air to the safety of the descent platform. Suits anybody who enjoys climbing trees and loves an adrenalin rush. Adaptable for wheelchairs.

Abseiling


Completed an abseil from the top of the spectacular sandstone rocks 15 metres high.

Wooden abseil ramp for wheelchair users

 

 

Trapeze

The infamous leap from a 15 metre high platform to the trapeze. Most people ask to do this twice so that they can attempt it a second time

Assault Course

A low impact assault course which will suit anybody who can walk along planks or stand on a wooden platform 2ft off the ground.

Ski Slope in Doughnuts!

Doughnuts (inflatable rings) will be available for visitors to sit in, slide and enjoy the ride! Visitors with disabilities are welcome to use the slope; we provide adapted equipment for sledging down the slope.

This is not an exhaustive list – other less strenuous activities will also be on offer, such as orienteering and problem solving.

Get Involved!

All you need to do to take part is to pay the appropriate registration fee and get your friends and colleagues to sponsor you up to at least the minimum levels shown below then you could become a part of this very special adventure!  If you complete the challenge you will receive a certificate and medal and will have the satisfaction of knowing that by becoming a 'Hero for a Day' you'll be helping to make sure that yesterday's heroes continue to receive the support and care that the QAHH has been delivering for the past 90 years.

We welcome individuals and their children as well as teams from businesses and the public sector - talk to us about the options.
