Facing fear at 50! Big birthdays and sponsoring the Parkinson’s UK Birmingham Abseil event

By Recycling Management Ltd
schedule9th Apr 18

It’s a huge year for Recycling Management Ltd, not only are we first-time Made in the Midlands supporters, we are also completely revamping our brand output and literature.  It’s a huge undertaking for the Marketing Team and we are confident that our brand will be stronger than ever moving into the next few years.

In more personal news our Managing Director, Yvonne Manders, is turning the big 50 this year.  As a business we have always supported charity but there was a feeling that this could be something really special.  So, we are extremely proud to announce that we are sponsoring the Parkinson’s UK Birmingham Abseil Event in June.

The Event will take place at the Holiday Inn Express in Snow Hill, on 10th June - over 200ft tall and every bit as terrifying as it sounds!  Our brave MD has offered to conquer her fear of heights and make her way down the side of the building in aid of Parkinson’s UK!

Yvonne had this to say when we cornered her whilst training for the big day:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of this fantastic event and couldn’t be more excited to spend my 50th birthday 200ft in the air for Parkinson’s UK!

It’s truly a wonderful cause that Recycling Management Ltd is proud to be sponsoring.”

Ahead of the Event we caught up with the Parkinson’s UK Regional Fundraiser for Birmingham and the Black Country, Gayle Kelly.  Here’s what she had to say:

“There are over 12,000 people in the West Midlands alone who have been diagnosed with this condition and it’s vital that we continue our research to find a cure and improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s.  We are so grateful to Recycling Management Ltd and especially Yvonne Manders for being extremely brave and tackling a drop of over 200ft, all in support of our charity.

Well done Yvonne, it’s a 50th birthday you’ll never forget!”

So, there you have it.  We’d love to hear your feedback about this event and if you could take a moment to read about the incredible research that goes on at Parkinson’s UK then you might just get the courage up to tackle this drop yourself!

Thanks for reading, take care and recycle!
