Altitude Reached New Heights Raising Over £1,000 for Charity

Last week our team took on St Luke’s Abseil Challenge to help support our client St Luke’s – Sheffield’s Hospice raise money to support their patients.

St Luke’s Hospice, which operates in Sheffield, supports people aged 18 and above with terminal illnesses, as well as their families and their loved ones, with medical and holistic care from the point of diagnosis and beyond.

Taking on the 160ft plunge from the top of the towering Owen Building at Sheffield Hallam University was no easy feat.

So far, the team have raised £1,180 and are backed by 51 supporters.

Rachel Measures, Account Manager at Altitude, said: “Being able to raise money for a charity that means so much to so many individuals in Sheffield has been so rewarding. We can’t say a big enough thank you to everyone who has supported us and donated so far.

“With the abseil itself, sitting on the edge of the building and having to dangle mind over matter at the start was definitely mildly terrifying – but then after that I think we all had a blast.”

Adam Reeves-Brown, PR and Communications Director at Altitude, said: “When we launched in early 2022, we knew we’d be undertaking some kind of aerial challenge at some point. With a name like Altitude, it’s inevitable!

“Not only were we eager to support a charity that we work with, and one that does a lot of good for the people of Sheffield, we were eager to do something that aligns with our wider values, which this certainly has done.”

It’s not too late to help us raise some extra funds for St Luke’s. You can visit our Just Giving page here: www.justgiving.com/page/altitude-pr
