Brave Fundraisers Raise £1,600 at Spinnaker Tower Abseil Event for UKSA!

Published 20/08/2024

UKSA is delighted to announce that our recent fundraising abseil down the iconic Emirates Spinnaker Tower has raised an incredible £1,600, thanks to the generous support of our brave participants and their sponsors. The event, held on Saturday 20th July, saw fundraisers take on a 100-metre descent, enjoying breath-taking views across Portsmouth Harbour, the Solent, and the Isle of Wight.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported the cause including our valued sponsors at Hovertravel. Your efforts will directly contribute to providing life-changing opportunities for young people through UKSA’s funded programmes, helping them broaden their horizons through maritime education, water-based adventures, and training for careers at sea.

Kim, UKSA’s Fundraiser, expressed:
“We are thrilled by the support and courage shown by all our abseilers. This event is a fantastic way to not only challenge yourself but also to make a real difference in the lives of young people. Every pound raised will go towards inspiring and empowering the next generation to explore the possibilities of a future at sea.”
