Free fun on offer and a chance to abseil for charity

A free fun day is going to take place in Scunthorpe on the 19 July, and for some it will bring back memories of the much-loved Appleby Frodingham Steelworks galas.

The event is being held by local health trust, Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), and there’s something for everyone… including the chance to “go over the edge” in a charity abseil.

The fun day will be held at Brumby Hall Sports and Social Club, Ashby Road, DN16 1AA, and besides a fun day will see a RDaSH Bright Futures Summit at midday for young people to attend followed by the trust’s Annual Members’ Meeting at 2pm.

There will also be chance to watch RDaSH staff and community groups take part in an It’s a Knockout style competition and quick cricket.

There’s also free ice cream, pop corn and candy floss on offer, face painting, a games area, dance machine, giant Lego, giant walkabout dinosaurs, a soft play area, onsite street food vendors, information stalls about our services and so much more.

The 160-foot abseil will be from a crane and is to raise money for the trust’s Your Hearts and Minds Charity and you can register now for £25.

Fundraising Manager Jenny Baynham said: “Why not come along and have a great day and at the same time raise money for our charity. Get in touch for more details.”

Spaces are limited for the abseil, so book now! For more details contact the fundraising team on:
