Supporters Abseil down Cardiff City Stadium to Raise Funds for Local Communities

22 Mai 2025

On Sunday 18th May, adrenaline-seeking Bluebirds, Community Foundation supporters and charity partners took on a sky-high challenge — abseiling down the iconic Cardiff City Stadium to raise vital funds for Cardiff City FC Community Foundation.

Open to all levels of experience, the event brought people together to support our mission of Changing Lives and Transforming Communities across South Wales.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who stepped up to take on the challenge and raise funds — your support means everything.

Our abseilers have collectively raised an incredible £3,700 so far.

Every penny goes directly towards our work supporting people in our communities. People like Zack, who since joining our Inclusive Kicks sessions in Merthyr Tydfil, has found his place – growing in confidence, making friends, and doing what he loves.

Emma Griffiths, a Community Foundation fundraiser and Specsavers Community Champion, said:

“I decided to take part in the exhilarating abseil challenge because of all the amazing work that Cardiff City FC Community Foundation does to create opportunities for our communities across South Wales - they truly make a difference. It was a fantastic experience that really pushes you out of your comfort zone, and it's worth it to know that it's to raise money for such a great cause!”

We’re proud to also have the support of our charity partners, Toward Studio and Willis Construction, who rallied their networks to form fearless fundraising teams and take on the challenge.
