Charity to stage adventure challenge

Safe and Sound is inviting people to spend the King’s Coronation bank holiday tackling an action-packed fundraising challenge.

Monday May 8 has been declared a Bank Holiday following the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and people are being encouraged to join the Big Help Out and make a change in their local communities.

That day, the specialist child exploitation charity will be staging its Earth Wind and Fire adventure challenge, which starts with an accompanied morning walk around the Peak District or Darley Park.

This will followed by a 80ft abseil off Miller’s Dale Bridge in the Peak District and the day will finish with a late afternoon fire walk on burning coals at Darley Abbey Mills.

Chief executive Tracy Harrison said: “We have been planning our adventure challenge for several months and when the Big Help Out was announced as part of the Coronation weekend, we thought it would be the perfect day for our three-pronged fundraising event.
