A charity is offering the opportunity to abseil down one of the town’s tallest buildings.

Croydon Commitment, who are organising the event, hope plenty of people will descend from the top of Jurys Inn, Wellesley Road to raise money for Croydon Commitment and its charity partners.

Individuals or teams are welcome to take part. A non-refundable £15 registration fee is required and participants must be aged 16 or above and commit to raising £100 in sponsorship.

Ian Robinson, chief executive of Croydon Commitment, said: “This is our first major fundraising event of the year and is building on the success of last year’s Jump Croydon.

“We hope businesses and individuals will sign up to take part in what promises to be a truly memorable day.”

To register for the event which will take place on Friday, March 22, email croydoncommitment-mm@mottmac.com or call 020 8774 3680.
