Autism West Midlands Fundraising Manager Natalie Wood said: “The abseil down Dudley Castle was our main fundraising event to celebrate the charity’s milestone and we are thrilled with the amount raised.
“Everyone who took part has links to autism, whether they have the condition themselves or have friends or family with autism, and we congratulate them all on completing the challenge.”
The money raised at Sunday’s event will be used to support the charity’s family services towards days out, training sessions, one-to-one advice and support workshops for siblings.
The charity has several other fundraising events planned for its special anniversary over the next few months as well as a staff celebration.
