Zipwire for care rights

11 July 2024

We did it! We rode the world's fastest zipwire to raise funds for Care Rights UK!

Helen and Richard had to push their fear of heights to the limits. It was very high (1555 meters) and very fast (100+ mph). We were terrified, but we survived!

Helen and Richard, very relieved to be back on the ground after zipping at 100+mph!

Thanks so much to everyone who donated. Your support means the world to us, and made all the fear worthwhile! There is still time to support our daring fundraiser. It is all for an excellent cause.

Care Rights UK supports people in the most vulnerable of situations - older and disabled people who need care. Throughout the pandemic we heard first-hand (via our adviceline) the terrible impact of isolation in care settings. We are campaigning for a new legal right to a Care Supporter - a relative or friend who can be there when we're using health or care services. No-one should ever be isolated from the support they need. No-one should ever have to die alone again.

Help us get this vital new law over the line. Donate today to help us reach our target!
