Six of our most intrepid (or possibly just a little bonkers!) team members and some equally crazy supporters, are taking to the icy waters this winter — all to raise money for Springboard.

As the cold-water swimming season begins, Bex, Laura, Liz, Pat, Rachel, and Rebecca have bravely signed up to complete 40 chilly cold water dips between now and 31st March.

To put that into perspective — the water temperature can dip as low as 2°C during the season. Whether you call them courageous, committed, or completely cold-crazy, we’d love your support! Please send your well wishes and, if you can, sponsor their efforts — every penny makes a difference.

Why 40 dips? It’s to start celebrating Springboard’s 40th anniversary next year. Since 1986, Springboard has been helping children under five with SEND get the best possible start in life. Guided by our vision, we work to empower every child and their family to thrive in an inclusive, supportive community.

Help us celebrate 40 years of Springboard by cheering on our cold-water champions and donating if you can. Together, we can make a real splash for local children with SEND and their families!
