Thrill seekers are being given the chance to experience the iconic Trent Bridge cricket ground from a new perspective, as the Trent Bridge Community Trust\u2019s Zipwire Challenge returns in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will reach speeds of up to 40mph on the 190m-long zipwire, suspended above the outfield at a height of 25m.<\/p>\n

Money raised by the daredevils who take part will secure the immediate future of the Trust\u2019s flagship Forget Me Notts initiative for individuals living with Dementia and their carers, as well as the Notts in Mind programme, which supports women\u2019s mental and physical wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Those interested in taking part can book their timeslot now, at\u00a0trentbridge.co.uk\/zipwire<\/a><\/p>\n

Individuals interested in donating without taking to the skies\u00a0can do so here…<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a rare opportunity to see our home in a whole new light \u2013 and raise much-needed funds to support those in need across the county at the same time,\u201d said Head of Community and Development, Mandy Wright.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe zipwire challenge is a great experience for cricket lovers and adrenaline junkies alike \u2013 but most importantly, it will help us to keep offering vital support to hundreds of Nottinghamshire residents each week.<\/p>\n

\u201cForget Me Notts has quickly evolved into one of our most important programmes; attendees often describe the sessions as the highlight of their week, and it\u2019s great to see the activities we offer for those with Dementia \u2013 as well as the respite and peer support for their carers \u2013 making such an impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotts in Mind is a newer initiative, but is already delivering a real impact in terms of helping women of all ages to reach their personal physical and mental health goals \u2013 from improving attendees\u2019 moods to, in some cases, improving their mobility to the extent that they can stand or walk for the first time in years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Registration for the event costs \u00a350, with further fundraising support provided to help individuals reach a minimum fundraising target of a further \u00a3100.<\/p>\n

Additional rewards are available for those who raise extra funds:<\/p>\n
