Spinnaker Abseil 2026

I'm raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

I have a fear of heights and no previous experience but on 2 May 2026, I will be abseiling 328 ft (100 metres) down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth to raise money for Hearing dogs for deaf people. If you would like to make a donation, it will go towards training a hearing dog puppy that can transform a deaf child or adults life. My target was originally to raise £328 (£1 for every ft I’ll be descending! I am excited to say that thanks to my generous sponsors so far, this goal has been exceeded but if you would like to give it will be greatly appreciated by the charity and myself  

Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.  Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you for your support.

On the donation link please be aware of any add on requests and opt out if you would like too.
