£7000 raised at Eastnor Castle

Sunday 28 June saw the first ever Stroke Association abseil and zipslide at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire. Over thirty people took part in each event including 88 year old Arthur Wrench who took part in both events and became the star of the local press.

The weather was glorious and we would like to thank those who helped and supported us on the day.
