Sky’s the limit for Drive Further in Francis House charity challenge!

< 1 minute read  |  September 12, 2017

As part of our yearly fundraising activities, employees of companies within the Drive Further collective are given the opportunity to undertake challenges to raise money for one of our two chosen charities, St Ann’s Hospice and Francis House Children’s Hospice.

Last year, companies within the collective raised over £8,000 for our charities through numerous challenges including a colour run, golf day and our London to Paris charity bike ride.

And this year, the sky’s the limit, literally, as Rebecca Matthews completed a 60m abseil down the side of the Bell Tower at INTU Trafford Centre to raise money for Francis House.

Speaking about the challenge, Rebecca said:

“I will be doing this alone as all the staff who volunteered had conveniently found reasons not to do it! I hope this can generate a lot of support for Francis House who are always in need of funding.”

The event is being organised by Eight Point Two, an events company specialising in adventure challenges. All money raised will be going to help support Francis House Children’s Hospice, who provide care for children and young adults with life threatening conditions.

The abseil took place on the 17th September. You can help support Rebecca by donating via the link below, and don’t forget to select gift aid as it allows UK charities to claim back 25p on every £1 you donate.
