#Willdoes’s charity Boxing Day Dip raising an impressive sum of £1,850!

The warm weather attracted an unusually big crowd to join #Willdoes’s charity Boxing Day Dip raising an impressive sum of £1,850!

Over 200 people attended the event, many wearing fancy dress while crowds of spectators cheered on from the beach as people bravely took the plunge in Swanage Bay. 

Lesley Paddy who founded the charity in memory of her son Will, said: “It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves – it’s good for the town and good for the charity. Swanage was really buzzing!

“Thank you to everyone who joined in the swim and helped with the event and a big thank you to Land and Wave who kept us all safe in the sea. It all goes to show what we can achieve together as a community.”

Lesley is looking for other local volunteers to run similar charity events. If you are interested, please get in touch.
