A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service descended the heights of Queens Medical Centre to help support Nottingham Hospitals Charity

Family funeral directors braved the heights of a hospital in a team abseil to raise funds for charity.

Twelve members of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, including managing director Matthew Lymn Rose, descended the heights of Queens Medical Centre to help support Nottingham Hospitals Charity.

The team created a JustGiving page and raised £3,000 out of a £1,800 target, which will be given to a range of areas across Nottingham’s hospitals.

The funds support everyone from babies in the neonatal unit and young children at Nottingham Children’s Hospital, to adult patients being treated for cancer, stroke and heart disease, to end-of-life care at Hayward House Palliative Care Centre.

Matthew Lymn Rose said: “As a Nottinghamshire business, we’re always looking for ways to support our local community.

“We were delighted to be involved in such a wonderful, if not rather daredevil, event and are pleased to have supported such vital work across the region.

“I’d like to thank our staff who took the time to take part in the abseil, as well as all those who kindly donated to our fundraiser.”
