Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


As many of you will know, I spent 6 happy years climbing the 212 stairs of Bath Abbey tower. Now, I will be taking things a step further and coming down another way - over the edge! The tower is 49 metres high and the last time I abseiled it didn't end very well (bandages and ice) so this is a big challenge for me. 


Thank you for sponsoring me. The money I raise will go to Genesis Trust Bath and the Bath Abbey Footprint Project and will help to improve the lives of Bath’s residents and preserve the health and heritage of the city. If you want a laugh, come and see my legs wobbling between 11am and 12noon on Friday 6th July.

Genesis Trust brings the local community together to offer immediate practical help to people who are hungry, homeless and vulnerable and provide long-term opportunities for them to rebuild their lives. Bath Abbey’s Footprint Project will repair Bath Abbey’s collapsing floor and install an eco-friendly heating system, powered by Bath’s natural hot springs. It will also ensure that the Abbey is more hospitable for its visitors – improving the facilities and expanding its capacity by 200 square meters. This adventurous fundraising effort will provide vital momentum to the future plans of both organisations.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
