A foot for every year
An elderly trustee of Autism Wessex charity has completed an 85ft abseiling challenge for the charity.
Joan Dampney said: “I’ve always wanted to abseil so I thought why not take on an 85ft cliff in my 85th year.
“I’ve been involved with the charity since 1972 so when I saw this opportunity I couldn’t resist.”
