Thrillseekers have just a single week left to secure their place at the KM Maidstone Abseil Challenge.

Those with nerves of steel will be scaling a huge 130ft at Midhurst Court, Maidstone all in the name of good causes.

The annual challenge event raises thousands of pounds for vital charitable organisations such as the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance, and provides the perfect setting for team-building and networking exercises.

Booking is now open for the Maidstone Abseil which takes place on Sunday, June 5. Applying code MAID16 when booking at www.kmcharitychallenge.co.uk will grant a small discount to the overall fee.

Those raising funds for good causes are expected to try and raise a minimum of £75 and participants can choose either their favourite charity, or one directly linked with the event.

Dominic Comins, events manager at the KM Charity Team which orgnaises the event, said: “There is little time left to book your place at the Maidstone Abseil, and as it's our biggest drop yet, you really don't want to miss out! We are searching for those bold individuals who are willing to conquer their fears and become heroes for charity."

The KM Maidstone Abseil Challenge is backed by key partners Day, Smith and Hunter Chartered Accountants, and Golding Homes.
