Braving the elements for fundraising fun
We were very proud of our volunteer abseilers who, on the 27th October, took the plunge – literally and metaphorically! – by completing a 165ft freefall, SAS-style abseil from one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks: the Forth Bridge.
The weather just about held out with a few spits of rain as participants made their way up to the walkway of the bridge. Some were excited, some were very, very nervous but everyone completed it, enjoyed it and were delighted to be helping to support their local Child and Family Support Project.
Almost £3000 has been raised for our Scottish Project, which will make a huge difference to our work here. We rely on the support of individuals to get involved with challenges such as these. If you’d like to get involved in this, or any other type of fundraising activity in Scotland, please get in touch with Claire Murray in our Edinburgh office.
The abseil is an annual event – if you’ve been inspired, why not give it a go next year?
