Sainburys sextet go Forth for charity

Forth Bridge abseil raises over £1300

abseil group

On Sunday 18 October, six colleagues from Sainsburys Blackhall took part in the Forth Rail Bridge abseil to raise funds for Meningitis Research Foundation (writes Gail Wilson).

We were the second group of the day to abseil and the weather was dry, calm and sunny. The view from the top of the Bridge was amazing and we all had a fantastic experience!

So far we have raised over £1,300 for Meningitis by doing our abseil and hope more funds will come in!

The intrepid abseilers were Chris Letham, Christy Dickson, Fiona Forrest, Gail Wilson, George Paton and Katie White
