This year, I’m stepping (or dropping) out of my comfort zone by abseiling down the iconic Lloyds building – all in support of a cause that’s really close to my heart.

Working for the British Red Cross, I see first-hand just how vital the Disaster Fund is. Whether it’s a flood here in the UK, an earthquake or tsunami overseas, or any emergency in between – this fund allows my amazing colleagues to respond quickly, wherever and whenever help is needed most.

By donating, you’re not just sponsoring a terrified person hanging off a building – you're helping people and communities affected by crisis get food and clean water, shelter, medical care and hope when they need it most.

Every penny helps and will go straight to the front line. I know because I work with the people who make it happen.

Thank you so much for your support– it truly means the world!!
