DARING to stand at the top of Pembroke Castle’s 75-foot high tower and walk backwards down the side takes some courage.

And that is exactly what 42 brave charity abseilers did under the watchful eye of experts from Coast2Crag on Sunday, March 9.

The sponsored abseil was arranged by Pembroke 21C Community Association to raise funds both towards the costs of running Foundry House Community Centre and to help build a shed and maker spaces at the community garden behind St Oswald’s House.

The shed will be built in memory of 12-year-old Sulien Luckman, who tragically died at Templeton last year. Many of Sulien’s family and friends took part.

“Around £3,500 was raised for the two projects,” said Pembroke 21C chair Gareth Jones. “This was a wonderful occasion with a memorable atmosphere inside the Castle.

“Pembroke 21C felt privileged to work with Sulien’s family and friends to achieve this and to be able to help them to celebrate his life in this way.”

A competition to design the shed has been entered by local young people and friends of Sulien, and the results will be announced very soon.
