Abseiling 40 metres down the side of the college - daft! Maybe. It's a long way down but it's not much compared to the extra mile the Red Cross goes to support vulnerable people, locally and internationally.

Thank you for your donations - it was a great day and lots was raised for a great cause. Thank you so much - overwhelmed by everyone's generosity!
