September 9, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Have you got a head for heights? On Saturday 9th September we are holding our first ever indoor climbing challenge at Rope Race Climbing Centre.

Participants will be able to climb the equivalent height of Manchester’s Beetham Tower in the comfort of the indoor climbing centre. Children are more than welcome to take part in the event but the minimum age restriction is 6 years old.

Beetham Tower is one of the UK’s highest buildings at an amazing 551ft/168m and 47 floors high. Once registered you
will be required to raise a minimum of £100 sponsorship which will include your registration fee for the event. This means that essentially you will get to climb for free!

The climbing challenge is another exciting event to mark Independent Options’ 40th anniversary, and a superb opportunity to push yourself to the limit while raising much-needed funds to help us continue the work we do for the next 40 years!

To get involved, or for more information, get in touch! Email us at fundraising@independentoptions.org.uk or call 0161 456 6502

Kevin's Story

Kevin uses Independent Options’ Short Breaks service. His Mum, Jude, tells of how the experience has helped her family.

“Having a disabled child totally changes the dynamics of family life. With all the meetings, hospital appointments and such it can be draining on everyone. When Kevin is at Hallfield guest house I am safe in the knowledge that he is with staff who genuinely care. I also know that he always has a great time and he can do what he chooses to do safely – and without his Mum there too! To have this service is so valuable as it gives me as a parent that time to do things I can’t when Kevin is at home, and I don’t feel guilty leaving him because I know that he really enjoys his time there with the staff and other guests.

“I adore my son and would not change him or his disability as then that would not be Kevin, but to have these respite breaks is wonderful for both of us as it means that I can recharge my batteries too. A service like the one offered through Independent Options is genuinely priceless.”
