Story

I was given the incredible opportunity to Abseil from the Forth Rail Bridge whilst raising money for a great charity - Circle.

Sadly, children growing up in the poorest parts of Scotland have to cope with parental substance use, parental imprisonment, domestic abuse, trauma and loss. Their daily life can include social isolation, shame and fundamental needs like food, clothing and a safe home being unmet. Without the right support their situation can lead to significant long term problems with both their physical and mental health. Circle understand that all parents want to give their children the attention and support they deserve but for a variety of reasons they are experiencing difficulties. Their staff give these families an opportunity to talk, to highlight and build on the strengths they already have whilst supporting them to get help with any specific problems they are going through.I'm abseiling to make a difference. You just need to donate. Thanks
