Fareham cloud solutions firm preparing to take a leap of faith for Solent Mind

Infinigate Cloud, the Fareham-based cloud solutions unit within the Infinigate Group, is getting ready to run a charity abseil down Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower to raise funds for Solent Mind.

On Saturday, 2nd September, a daredevil team of 40 abseilers, including Hampshire Biz News and The Business Magazine colleague Alan Lindstrom, will rope down the 170-metre landmark with the goal of raising £20,000 for the charity.

All donations will go directly to Solent Mind, which last year provided 55,000 people – or one in 28 of the population – high quality mental health services.

Michael Frisby, Senior Vice President of Cloud Services at the Infinigate Group, said: “Mental health and wellbeing are a top priority at Infinigate Cloud and that’s why our employees collectively chose to partner with Solent Mind as our corporate charity.

“We’d like to invite everyone to come along to support our adventurous abseiling team. It’s going to be a fantastic day and I will be personally joining a team of 40 abseilers comprised of Infinigate Cloud employees, customers and partners to descend the magnificent Spinnaker Tower.”

Joanne Silsbury, Corporate Liaison Officer at Solent Mind said, “I’m incredibly pleased that Solent Mind have been chosen as Infinigate Cloud’s corporate charity this year.

“I’m so impressed with their commitment to raising £20,000 that I’ve decided to join the staff and their partners in abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower. I haven’t done a fundraising challenge myself for four years so I’m really looking forward to taking part!”
