Stepping over the edge of a 77-metre tower is not something most people would call a normal day—but for seven incredible individuals, it was all part of making a difference.
Recently, a group of brave fundraisers took on the ultimate challenge: abseiling down the iconic Wainhouse Tower in Halifax. Known as the tallest folly in the world, the tower stands at a towering 77 metres high, making it a daunting climb up—and an even more exhilarating descent down.
Together, these seven adventurers raised an incredible £1,500.
That’s £1,500 that will go directly towards supporting disadvantaged children, young people, and families across Kirklees.
Making a Real Impact
At Fresh Futures, we know that behind every donation is an opportunity to change a life. The funds raised from this challenge will help provide vital support—whether that’s through mentoring, youth services, wellbeing support, or creating safe spaces for young people to grow and thrive.
For many of the individuals and families we support, access to the right help at the right time can make all the difference. Fundraising events like this ensure we can continue delivering that support where it’s needed most.
Thank You
To our incredible abseilers: thank you for your courage.
To everyone who donated and supported: thank you for your generosity.
