Abseiling Chairman takes Safety Media to new heights

29 Aug 2012

by: Margaret Snell

Safety Media Chairman Bill Roberts is one of a select group of people taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to abseil down London’s newest landmark building, The Shard, before it opens to the public in 2013.

On the 3rd September Roberts will be joining HRH The Duke of York KG, Ffion Hague and others in The Descent of The Shard to raise money for two charities dedicated to helping those facing personal and physical challenges – The Outward Bound Trust and Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.  

The 310m building is the tallest in Western Europe and celebrated for its exceptional architectural design.

Roberts, who has a fundraising target of £25,000, said: “As Chairman of Safety Media, I’m delighted to be involved in such an exhilarating and unique opportunity to raise funds for such a great cause.

The Outward Bound Trust is committed to helping young people realise their potential through activities that simultaneously support their social and emotional well-being.”
