Staff member of the Dudley NHS Charity about to start her abseil

A daring group of fundraisers scaled new heights to raise almost £1,032 to support Dudley Group NHS Charity. 

Seven brave members of staff took part in a charity abseil from the rooftop of Dudley College’s Evolve building, into the Coronation Gardens on 20th June 2024. The daredevils dropped 60ft from the building to support their local NHS charity alongside Dudley College staff members.

One of the staff members who took part was Louise Brookes from therapy services, who said: “What a privilege to be able to take part in the abseil for the Dudley Group NHS Charity at Dudley College. We had a great team from the Trust who bonded and supported each other. It was an amazing experience and a huge leap of faith to climb up and over the edge.

It didn’t look so high from the ground but when you are up there kneeling on a small ledge and climbing over, it was certainly quite daunting! 

The team were very reassuring and put me at ease each step of the way. A great personal achievement and a real exciting opportunity for each one of us, and we are all up for the next challenge! Thank you to the charity for giving us the opportunity to take part.
