img_4169img_4183On the 16th October 7 brave volunteers leaped 30 ft from the fan descender platform at Vivary High ropes to raise money for SAV.

Hayley and Bobby of Tesco, Taunton worked hard collecting sponsorship and fundraising in store before taking the leap.

Debbie and Michele of Claims Consortium also took the plunge raising valuable awareness and funds for the charity.

Adam Fouracre, CEO of SAV (who also joined the crazy team) said, 'thank you to those who took part. For many it was certainly a challenge to take the step off the platform and took courage. It looks a lot higher when you're up there!'

The fear challenge raised over £500 for SAV which will be put towards the educational work the charity does in schools. Thank you to Vivary High Ropes for allowing us to use their fantastic facility.
