Volunteers to abseil down Northampton's Lift Tower for Kettering charity
The team, including Kettering Council member Cllr Maggie Don, will walk down the 418ft building at 11am on Saturday, April 22.
They are hoping to raise £2,000 for HomeStart Kettering, which offers support through home visiting volunteers helping families with children under five who are experiencing stress or difficulties.
