Expert training is given prior to the event with Scott Bell, a Guinness World Record holder.
Other charities, supported this year by the Mayor’s Charity Appeal Fund, and benefiting from the event are BCHA, Coda Fiddle Orchestra, Kitty’s Wish Foundation, The Steve Bernard Foundation Ltd and The Wessex Cancer Trust.
Helen Mortimer, Fundraising Manager at Diverse Abilities Plus, said: “This is a great opportunity to take on a totally different challenge in aid of six local charities, supported by the Mayor’s Charity Fund. We are urging local people to get involved and take the heat to raise money for all six fantastic charities.”
