For one weekend only, Martin House Children’s Hospice is taking over Xscape in Castleford with a brand-new fundraising challenge: The BIG Zip.

Martin House have launched their biggest ever fundraising appeal: THE BUILD, to raise Β£2 million. The needs of children with life-shortening conditions are changing, and so must they. Their vision is to create a purpose-built space that matches the highly specialist care that they currently provide. Help them reach their Β£2 million fundraising target so that THE BUILD can become a reality.

Whizz along a 240 metre zip line or face the LEGO walk at our Xscape takeover event, and raise funds for children with life-limiting illnesses.
