On Sunday 11th September 2022, a group of 8 brave members of the Next Phase team will be abseiling 100m down the famous Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, to raise money for this incredible charity who are on a mission to save and change children’s lives through medical research, developing treatments, vaccinations and cures.

The charity was founded in 1952 by Duncan Guthrie in his quest to find a cure for polio, a condition that affected the lives of many thousands of children including his own daughter, Janet. Early research funded by the charity helped to develop the first oral polio vaccine which eradicated new cases of the disease in the UK. Since then they’ve continued to fund vital research projects to save and change lives through medical research.

They are based in Horsham and rely solely on donations and fundraising and throughout 2022 we are trying to raise as much money as we possibly can for them.

At least 70% of the money we raise will go directly to the charity, the rest will go towards the cost of organising the event, the more we raise the more will go to the charity.
