Dozens of people took the plunge, abseiling 100ft down the side of one of Maidstone's tallest buildings, all for charity.

The 70 fund-raisers were taking part in the Kent Charity Challenge Fremlin Walk abseil on Saturday, boosting the funds of The Heart of Kent Hospice and The Kent Walking Bus to the tune of £10,000.
