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.

The difficulties include post-natal depression, disability, isolation and other challenges which can lead to crisis and family breakdown.

The fundraising page reads: “We are all volunteers who care passionately about making a difference for local children.

“When parents suffer hardship and tragedy, children can suffer for a lifetime.

“We believe that children deserve a happy and secure childhood and want to see every parent in our community have the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.
