Story
On 20th June 2026, we’re taking on one of Northern Ireland’s most breathtaking challenges - abseiling down the iconic cliffs of Fairhead, Ballycastle.
It’s not just about the view (although it will be incredible). It’s about doing something bold to support children and families when they need it most.
Why it matters
Every pound raised through this event will support the work of Little Heroes at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.
We provide practical, immediate support that makes a real difference - from essential equipment for wards, to care items for parents staying by their child’s bedside, to small comforts that ease incredibly difficult days.
When a child is in hospital, everything changes for that family. Your support helps us step in with the things that aren’t always visible - but are always felt.
The Challenge
Standing at the top of Fairhead, looking out across the North Coast, you’ll be stepping over the edge of a 90ft+ cliff - safely harnessed, fully supported, and guided by professionals every step of the way.
It’s a challenge. It will push you.
And that’s exactly the point!
