This summer City-based dare devils will join The Lord Mayor of the City of London Alderman Nicholas Lyons to abseil 289ft down The Lloyd’s Building to raise vital funds for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Taking place on Tuesday 4th July, The Lord Mayor’s Appeal Abseil challenge will return to one of the City’s most famous landmarks, inviting City businesses and highflying individuals to fundraise while seeing London from a brand-new perspective.
Previous Abseil Challenge participant and member of The Lord Mayor’s Appeal Fundraising Board John McClean OBE says; “Come and join on us on 4th July to see the beautiful skyline of the City of London as you abseil down the iconic Lloyd’s Building. Until 2019, The Lord Mayor’s Appeal organised the annual abseil which included the Cheesegrater, 22 Bishopsgate and Barclays Head Office at Canary Wharf, where the respective Lord Mayors and Sheriffs stepped into space to lead the abseil appeal. This year, our Lord Mayor, Alderman Nicholas Lyons will be donning his harness and rising to the abseil challenge and looks forward to many of you joining him on the first post-Covid challenge.
“If you are daunted by heights, you should not be put off as the abseil team are professionals who will take you through all the safety procedures, so that your abseil is an exhilarating experience whilst taking in the sights of the City and of course raising money for the Appeal. As you can see, I have joined many of the recent Mayoral teams and on every occasion, we have shared laughter, trepidation and the euphoria of success in taking the challenge together. Is it your turn this year?”
