Do you dare to take on the zip wire? We’re challenging you to take the lead in this exhilarating event for Guide Dogs NI and launch yourself on an adrenaline-fuelled ride across the River Lagan, reaching speeds of up to 40mph, all whilst raising vital funds to change the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.

 

When is the event?

The event is on 7th June beginning at 12pm for registration. The registration area is situated on the bank of the River Lagan between the “Big Fish” and the Lagan Lookout at Donegall Quay.  Zip sliding will then take place between 12.30pm and 1.30pm.

 

Who can take part?

Virtually anybody! You should be at least 16 years old (parental consent required for under 18s), reasonably fit and weigh no more than 17 stone (113kg). No previous experience is needed, as all the training will be given by the professional instructors.

 

There are limited places, so let us know as soon as possible if you would like a place, and please do pass onto other branch members, volunteers or friends.

 

How do I register?

You can call the Guide Dogs events team on 0845 600 6787.

We would ask that Zip Sliders pay a non-refundable £40 registration deposit to take part in the event and pledge to raise as much as they can! Don’t worry!  This is not as difficult as you might think. For example, £10 from 12 friends and family would ensure you’ve raised £120 that could fund a Starter Kit for a new guide dog owner, containing everything they need to start a life with their new guide dog. Any funds raised can be sent to the Belfast office up to 2 weeks after the event. We’ll also do all that we can to support you with your fundraising in the lead up to the event. You will also receive a Guide Dogs events pack in the post and can begin fundraising immediately by setting up a Just Giving page!
