Colleagues from a Hinckley legal firm are taking to great heights to raise funds for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People.
The team, from Thomas Flavell & Sons Solicitors, will aim to complete the Derby Cathedral Abseil on Saturday 5 October. They will scale 189 steps to the top of the cathedral’s tower, before climbing over the edge and abseiling the 212ft back down.
They hope to raise £600 to help the charity continue to provide vital care and support to more than 750 babies, children and young people with terminal and serious illnesses.
This is the first time the team, made up of Saher Iqbal, Associate Solicitor; Charlotte Jenkins, Solicitor; Lena Ormerod, Legal Secretary; Joanne Riley, Legal Secretary; Nicola Starbuck, Associate Solicitor and Lauren Jackson, Receptionist, have collectively taken on such a challenge.
Joanne Riley, Legal Secretary at Thomas Flavell, said: “As a team we are really looking forward to our abseiling challenge next month, albeit we are all very nervous. It is certainly one for us to tick off the bucket list whilst raising lots of money for Rainbows. Bring it on! Go team TFS.”
Lauren Baker, Rainbows Corporate Partnership Fundraiser, added: “We are so thankful to Team TFS for taking on this epic challenge. We really couldn’t be there for so many families, at the hospice, at hospital or at home, without this kind of support. We look forward to cheering them on.”
