One tower and 77 abseiliers
Abseiling for charity….
Over 77 people turned up to abseil yesterday at our Giant abseil & fun day. Raising funds for the youth work in Aston with Aston Parish Church and also the work in Uganda and the UK with RJW.
Despite a little rain, this wasn’t enough to put people off. Many came on the day to abseil and joined in with others supporting the charities. After climbing 110 steps up the old Anglo-Saxon built church tower, it was time to be rigged up and ready for the decent. Old and young, tall and small all battled to get over the battlements at the top, but once over it was a almost free falling (but with a rope of course).
DJ Zorro played the music and got the crowd behind those that had a little scare of being so high, but 77 abseilers and we had no refusals during the day. 
When asked are you ready, Bill one of the more senior abseilers on the day said ‘of course I’m ready’… He did it in no time, beating some of the younger ones.
We want to thank everyone who helped make the day such a success. We particularly want to acknowlegde the generosity of Aston Parish Church and its members, Urban Devotion Birmingham, Birmingham Association of Youth Clubs and The Salvation Army. All those that helped before, during and after the event, without you the day wouldn’t have happened – thank you.
The Abseil was just one event in raising funds to support the work in Aston and in Uganda. We are a charity that solely replies of volunteers and the generosity of people like you.
