Vicky’s Spinnaker Tower Challenge Update! 💙 21 DA Vicky’s Spinnaker Tower Challenge Update! 💙

21 DAYS TO GO… and the reality is REALLY starting to sink in now! 😱

Our Finance Officer Vicky is used to making sure the numbers add up, but there’s one thing that definitely doesn’t add up in her comfort zone… HEIGHTS! 😬

And yet, on 6 September, she’ll be heading to Portsmouth to take on the incredible 100-metre Spinnaker Tower abseil- all to raise vital funds for The GI.

We’re sure the nerves are starting to kick in, but Vicky is taking on this huge challenge to support an arts education charity that brings people together, creates opportunities and makes a real difference in our community.

Can you help Vicky reach her fundraising target? Every donation, no matter how big or small, will give her an extra boost of courage when she’s standing at the top!

To support Vicky’s challenge-  link in bio, go to blog, Vicky's challenge. Thank you so much x

And please leave Vicky a message of encouragement in the comments. We think she’s going to need ALL the support she can get! This is not an easy challenge for her! 👏

Good luck, Vicky… just don’t look down!!!!!! You are amazing!
