Story

Jim’s Swim for Cornwall Mind

MAKE a splash for Cornwall Mind at this summer’s fresh water swimming challenge!

Brave the chilly waters at Adrenalin Quarry’s 22m deep 300m long lake at a unique event. Join Jim on Saturday, 28th June and embrace the benefits of cold water swimming and being in a beautiful setting outdoors, all whilst raising vital funds for Cornwall Mind.

Adrenalin Quarry are kindly sponsoring the event, called ‘Jim’s Swim’ after Jim Candy who set up the swimming challenge four years ago. Jim organised the event as he found that swimming outdoors greatly helped in his own recovery from depression, and he wanted to share this with others who may benefit from the same therapeutic effects.

Whilst there is no entry fee, all swimmers are asked to consider an 'affordable-for-you' voluntary donation of £5 or £10 to participate and to set up a sponsorship page - with Adrenalin Quarry generously gifting a complimentary Zip Wire to anyone who raises a minimum of £100. Your sponsorship will help our fight for better mental health in Cornwall. So…take the plunge and set up your Justgiving page here by clicking the orange START FUNDRAISING button.

Why do Cornwall Mind need your help?

Although we’re affiliated to Mind, the national charity, Cornwall Mind is an independently registered and funded charity dependent on fundraising and donations to continue our vital work in the community.

We’re only able to help people in Cornwall experiencing a mental health problem because of your support.

The funds raised will play an important role in helping to keep our wellbeing services running. Every penny raised and donated, will stay in Cornwall.

£10 - Will pay for us to answer a call from someone in need of support.

£50 - Will pay for someone to receive one to one support, helping them connect with others and feel less alone.

£100 - Will pay for someone to benefit from a wellbeing course, helping them to build confidence and improve quality of life.

Thank you for supporting Jim's Swim!
