Some of you may be aware that our own David Cummings decided to do a sponsored abseil from the roof of the Great Western Hospital to raise funds for them. David is a great supporter of the hospital and has sadly had recourse to its services recently. Lots of us would have gladly sponsored him not to do it but, as ever, David was unswayed and went ahead anyway. Incidentally it is his 3rd abseil so now he knows the ropes!

Cheered on by staff and supporters and buoyed up by some lovely early winter sunshine, David completed his abseil and in doing so raised £400 which he has raised from friends from Christ church and the local community. You can see a picture and read an Adver article about the event here.
