OK, so here is my pitch for 2026!

On 6 September I will be abseiling from Millers Dale Bridge in Derbyshire to raise vital funds for Our Space.

Yes, I have abseiled before (and you have probably kindly sponsored me before), but do not think that it gets easier when you've done it once (or twice!), it certainly doesn't! I am terrified of heights and knowing how scared I have been previously makes it that bit harder....so please take pity on me and spare me a few pennies to support my challenge ☺️

2026 is a big year for Our Space as we have turned 10 years old. Anyone who knows me, knows just how much I love our charity and how much blood, sweat and tears I have put into us reaching this milestone. I am incredibly proud of our achievements over the last decade and doing this abseil is just one way to mark the occasion.

Any small amount you can donate really will make a difference and your support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you xx

A word from Our Space:

"2026 is the year that Our Space turned 10 and to celebrate this big anniversary the Charity has planned a year of fundraising and other events.

This sponsored abseil from Millers Dale Bridge is their main fundraising event of the year.

It costs Our Space in the region of £140,000 a year to provide its vital service for children and adults with disabilities and their families and every penny raised from this event really will make a huge difference.
