Overcoming fears and raising £2.5K: Our team’s incredible charity abseil for Demelza

News

Our team took on the HUGE Leadenhall building in London, here's what happened. 

At Yoyo, we love a challenge. But last Friday, five of our bravest team members took "stepping up" to a whole new level, or rather, stepping off!

Anna, Gregg, Stephen, Dave, and Meg successfully conquered a thrilling charity abseil, facing their fears head-on to support our wonderful client, Demelza.

Smashed fears for an incredible cause

It’s one thing to talk about company values, but it's another to go dangling over the edge of a building for them! Despite some serious pre-jump nerves, the team showed incredible courage. One by one, they made the descent, cheered on by a fantastic ground support crew of colleagues, friends, and family.

Not only did they conquer the drop, but they also absolutely smashed their fundraising target. Thanks to the immense generosity of our clients, partners, and community, the team has raised over £2,500!

Why we support Demelza

Demelza is a brilliant client and a charity with a challenging mission. They provide extraordinary care and emotional support to children with serious or life-limiting conditions, as well as vital care for their families.

Every single penny raised from this abseil will go directly toward helping Demelza continue their life-changing work, ensuring that families never have to face their toughest journeys alone.

"We are so incredibly proud of Anna, Gregg, Stephen, Dave, and Meg. Watching them channel their nerves into something so positive for Demelza perfectly captures the spirit of our team. A massive thank you to everyone who donated!"

Jenny Kitchen, CEO, Yoyo.
