80 people from Manchester, three Hollyoaks actors, one BBC presenter and local company
Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions helped raise over £10,500 for national charity,
Action for Blind People, when they abseiled down the Printworks building in Manchester
last weekend (17 & 18 June).
Hollyoaks’ Ashley Slanina-Davies, Hollie-Jay Bowes 
and Kieron Richardson, along with BBC North West Tonight’s Annabel Tiffin and 16
Tyco employees, abseiled the 100ft drop to help support blind and partially sighted
people across the UK.

Action for Blind People works to enable blind and partially sighted people to live
independent lives and Manchester is home to the Manchester Actionnaires; a sports
club run by Action for Blind People for visually impaired children. Action has recently
expanded its services in Manchester to include an employment service, supporting
visually impaired people across the area.
