This year, I am taking on an abseiling challenge unlike any other. I am going to abseil a staggering 131ft down the Port of Leith Distillery, the tallest whisky distillery in the world. I am doing it to raise vital funds for Cyrenians and their life‑changing work tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness.

This event has a special significance for me, as it will be the final fundraising challenge I take on before my time as Cyrenians CEO ends in June. After 12 years with this wonderful organisation, I can honestly say it has been the best job I have ever had. I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come together and how the organisation has grown, adapted, and continued to walk alongside those facing or experiencing homelessness

So, for one last time, I’m asking friends, family, and supporters to get behind this very important cause. Every donation, big or small, helps Cyrenians continue their mission to ensure everyone, whatever their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive and live a meaningful life.

I am very grateful your support; it means a great deal to me.
