A daring charity challenge has helped raise more than £1000 for a homelessness prevention charity.
Glasgow-based social media agency Hydrogen raised £1235 for Scottish homelessness prevention charity Right There by taking part in the Zipslide the Clyde event on August 30.
A team of five from Hydrogen braved a 100ft high zip wire across the River Clyde to raise funds for the charity, which supports people facing homelessness or difficult circumstances across Scotland.

Niall Gibson, supporter engagement manager at Right There, said: “We’re absolutely delighted by the support from Hydrogen.
“Their bravery on the Zipslide, the Clyde and the funds they’ve raised will go directly to helping people in crisis right here in our communities.
“With their continued support this Christmas, we’ll be able to reach even more individuals and families who urgently need our help.”
The fundraiser is part of Hydrogen’s ongoing partnership with Right There, which will continue through its upcoming Christmas campaign.
Funds raised will go directly towards frontline services during one of the most challenging times of the year.

Iona Murray, account manager at Hydrogen, said: “Taking part in Zipslide the Clyde for Right There was an exhilarating experience and a fantastic way to give back.
“We’re proud to support such an important charity as they prepare for their Christmas campaign.”
Right There works to prevent homelessness, support people in maintaining tenancies and help families rebuild their lives.
The charity is encouraging other businesses, community groups and individuals to support its work this festive season.
