The Rose Road Association has close ties with Wilkins Kennedy through Managing Partner Ian Talbot, who is a long-standing trustee of the charity.
Claire, 22, from Waterlooville, will abseil from a 100m ledge on the landmark 170m high Spinnaker Tower with views of Portsmouth Harbour, and is no stranger to daredevil fundraising, having skydived for a children’s charity in the past.
Claire says, “As soon as I heard about this opportunity online I knew I definitely wanted to take up the challenge, and at the same time raise money for the Rose Road Association, a fantastic local charity. The Rose Road Association needs to raise £500,000 every year to be able to offer its services and is a vital lifeline for many families across Hampshire. Fundraising is essential to enable their supportive work with children, young people and their families to continue and I am hoping to raise £500 towards this very worthy cause.”
