After a chat in work one day we decided to take on something to challenge ourselves. Jodie hasn't swam seriously in half a decade, and Claire hasn't swam ever in her entire life. What better challenge than a long-distance swim in the open water?! We've been training for months and are almost ready to take on the swim! 

As we work with children in the local community, we have  decided to fundraise for Includem - a charity that supports young people to reach their potential regardless of the circumstances they may find themselves in. See below for more info:

"Includem’s Young Person's Fund provides extra support to young people we work with, many of whom are affected by poverty and don’t always have access to things that many of us take for granted. Over the years the Fund has enabled young people to access activities and facilities in their local communities, as well as providing emergency support. Whether it's swimming lessons or football boots, a place on a training course or a warm winter coat, the Young Person's Fund is there to make sure every young person gets the extra support they need."
